The figures come as 152 new cases were reported in the area served by NHS Grampian, the third-highest amount for a health board in Scotland today.

However, the area has seen a further drop in people who are in hospital with Covid-19, from 121 yesterday to 114 today.

There were 44 new cases reported by NHS Highland, bringing its total number of positive cases since the beginning of the pandemic to 3,543.

There are currently 32 people in NHS Highland hospitals with Covid, and eight of those people are being treated in intensive care.

The Western Isles, including Barra where a significant outbreak led the island to be moved from Level 3 to Level 4 restrictions yesterday, has reported four new cases.

Shetland recorded three positive cases, while Orkney had two in the last day.

Across Scotland as a whole, 2,003 people who recently tested positive for the virus are currently in hospital, breaking the 2,000 mark for the first time since the pandemic began.
