Scotland’s record Covid infection levels and the rising numbers it has put in hospital are being “scrutinised”, the chief medical officer has said.
Professor Sir Gregor Smith warned there was “no room for complacency” after new data showed that an estimated one in 18 Scots had the virus in the first week of March.
The most recent daily figures showed 1663 people were in hospital with recently confirmed Covid-19, the highest for 13 months.
