A further 11 people have been diagnosed with coronavirus in the past 24 hours in the north and north-east.

The latest update from the Scottish Government shows there have been a further 70 Covid-19 cases recorded since Saturday – this is 2.7% of newly tested individuals.

However, this figure is substantially lower than the last few days due to a delay in tests being assessed.

A total of 264 people are in hospital with a confirmed case of the virus and seven of those are receiving treatment in intensive care.

No Covid-19 related deaths have been reported in the past 24 hours.

Since the start of the outbreak, a total of 685,626 people in Scotland have been tested. Of these people, 22,749 were positive and 662,877 were confirmed negative.

A total of 4,273 inpatients who tested positive for Covid-19 have been discharged from hospital since March 5.

A regional breakdown of the data shows there have been six new cases confirmed in the Grampian area since Saturday and 16 coronavirus patients in hospital.

There have now been 2,017 positive cases in the north-east and Moray since the pandemic began.

In the Highlands, a further five people have tested positive for the virus, taking the region’s total to 494.

There have been no new cases in the islands. The totals for Orkney, Shetland and Western Isles remain at 17, 57 and nine respectively.

The largest jump in cases has been recorded in the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde area where 27 more people have been diagnosed with the virus in the past 24 hours.
