A further 14 people have tested positive for Covid-19 in the Grampian area.

The latest figures from the Scottish Government show the total for confirmed cases in the north-east and Moray is 45.

Another four cases have been confirmed in the Highlands – the total for the north is now 33 and no further confirmed cases for Shetland.

A total of 12,273 Scottish tests have concluded so far and of these, 11,214  tests were confirmed negative.

Thirty-three patients who tested positive for coronavirus have died so far.

Today Chief medical officer Dr Catherine Calederwood said at the daily briefing  more than 65,000 people in Scotland could now have coronavirus.

She revealed the figure – a rise on Thursday’s estimate of between 40,000 and 50,000 – as the confirmed number of positive covid-19 cases in the country rose by 165 to 1,059.

“There will come a time that I will be able to talk to you about the numbers being infected and that rate slowing, but that time is not yet and that time will not be for some weeks to come”, she said.
