Another 758 people test positive for coronavirus in Scotland
ANOTHER 758 people have contracted Covid-19 in Scotland, it has been announced.
The new cases represent 12.1% of newly tested individuals and bring the total to 32,209.
No further deaths among patients have recorded in the past 24 hours, meaning the toll under that measurement remains 2530.
The latest figures reveal 210 people were in hospital yesterday with recently confirmed coronavirus – an increase of 19 on 24 hours previously.
Of those, 22 were in intensive care – up by one.
Glasgow and Greater Clyde again saw the largest increase, with 266 new cases.
Lothian recorded 176 while Lanarkshire had 138.
Here is a full breakdown of the figures by health board.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
