Covid infection rates in Scotland are currently soaring, with cases rising in the country for the fifth week in a row.
Around one in 18 people are now estimated to have the virus according to data from the Office for National Statistics. In the last full week of May, it was estimated that one in 50 Scots had the virus.
But the latest ONS figures showed that in the week ending June 24, an estimated 288,200 people in Scotland had Covid-19. This amounts to 5.47 per cent of the population in Scotland having the virus - the equivalent of around one in 18 people.
