Here are five things you need to know about the coronavirus outbreak this Thursday evening. We'll have another update for you tomorrow morning.

Today's biggest story in the UK is on A-level results, as nearly 300,000 teenagers received grades despite not sitting the exams due to the lockdown. The way results have been decided has been controversial. While there's been an overall increase in top grades, many pupils (including more than a third of entries in England) have received a lower grade than teachers predicted, after results were moderated by exam boards. Head teachers say some lowered grades seem to be "unfair", while some pupils say their future has been "set back". To understand how results were calculated, check this out.

The reproduction rate of the virus - that's the average number of people an infected person will pass the virus on to - could now be above one in Scotland, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said. There's been a number of small clusters in the country. Ms Sturgeon said the upper estimate of the R number in Scotland "could have been as high as 1.3" last week. But she stressed that there were only thought to have been about 250 infectious people - so urged people not to be "unduly alarmed".

Almost 300 people have tested positive for the virus following an outbreak at a factory which makes M&S sandwiches. Greencore in Northampton started "proactively testing" workers due to rising numbers of cases in the town. A spokesman for the company, which employs 2,100 people, said the employees who had tested positive were self-isolating.

This year's travel industry has been hit hard by the pandemic, but holiday firm Tui says data for next year looks "very promising". It says bookings for next summer are up by 145%.
