The five people suspected of having coronavirus in Scotland have tested negative, the Scottish Government has said.
On Thursday, five patients were confirmed as being tested for the infection, but ministers have now announced they have been given the all-clear.
Across the UK, test results for 31 suspected cases have come back negative, with no confirmed cases of the potentially fatal infection.
All the people tested in the UK are believed to have visited Wuhan – the Chinese city where the outbreak originated.
The UK Government is advising that the risk to the public remains low, although Health Protection Scotland has urged travellers returning from Wuhan who become unwell within a fortnight from a sore throat, cough or breathing difficulties to call their GP or NHS 24.
Scotland’s Chief Medical Officer Catherine Calderwood said on Friday: “Scotland is well prepared for these types of outbreaks – we have a proven track record of dealing with challenging health issues and the UK was one of the first countries in the world to develop a test for the new virus.
“I am being kept fully informed about the precautionary steps being taken, including timely updates on the patients who are currently being tested.”
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!
