A recent rise in Covid infection numbers in Scotland has been described by officials as ‘uncertain’.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates that the number of people testing positive for the virus in Scotland on the week ending June 2 was 124,000 - which equates to around one in 40 people, or 2.36 per cent of the population.
This figure is a rise on the estimate of 105,900 with the virus in Scotland in the previous week.
