Here are the latest key figures for the coronavirus outbreak in Scotland.

Daily cases and deaths in your area
This graph shows the latest Covid-19 deaths and case numbers for your area.
It shows how many new reported cases/deaths there have been today, as well as the total number since the pandemic began, as per the Scottish Government's daily reporting method.
Test positivity rate
This table shows the percentage of tests that have been returned positive, as well as the amount of tests reported in the last seven days.
It also shows these two figures in comparison to the WHO guideline of 5%.
Seven day rates per 100,000 population
This bar chart shows the latest seven-day rates for Scotland's local authorities. The rate is defined by the amount of positive tests per 100,000 population.
Hospital admissions
This graph shows the amount of Covid-19 patients that have been in hospital from the beginning of the pandemic.
The Scottish Government changed the way they reported these admissions midway through September. Now, only patients who tested positive while in hospital or two weeks before their admission are counted as Covid-19 patients.

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!
