Jason Leitch gives update on Covid restrictions as cases continue to rise

Mandatory coronavirus restrictions are unlikely to return in Scotland despite a significant rise in cases, Jason Leitch has said.

The latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that in the week ending June 17, an estimated 250,700 people in private households in Scotland had Covid-19 - amounting to around one in 20.

It is an increase from 176,900 - around one in 30 people - the previous week, the highest level in the UK.
