Glasgow still cause for concern

A decision on whether Scotland will ease Covid-19 restrictions further will be confirmed later.

Last week, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon noted it depended on case rates stabilising or decreasing.

2,040,954 people in Scotland have been tested for #coronavirus

The total confirmed as positive has risen by 490 to 235,911

Sadly, one more patient who tested positive has died (7,669 in total)

Speaking on Friday, Ms. Sturgeon said Glasgow is still an area of concern:
