First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has called on hair salons, building sites and non-essential shops to close.
Speaking at a press conference today announcing a further four deaths from coronavirus, Ms Sturgeon confirmed the number of positive cases stands at 499.
Those figures are likely to be an underestimate, it is understood.
Ms Sturgeon thanked shops that have already closed but said any outlets that are not selling essential items like food and medicine should also shut.
She said: "My message to shops that are still open is this and it is clear, if you are not providing essential items like food and medicines then please also close now."
Ms Sturgeon said that building sites and hair salons should also close.
She said: "It has been clear to me that there are still too many people across our country who are being expected to, or expecting to, go to work as normal and this presents a serious and unnecessary risk of spreading the virus.
"I want to reiterate that if you run a business and if the nature of your business makes it difficult for you or your workers to work from home or to practice safe social distancing then you should close."
