Scotland records more than 9,500 cases of coronavirus and 24 new deaths

Article reports that the number of reported new Covid infections in Scotland has reached its highest for almost two months, with 9,551 more cases. That is the highest daily total since January 11 – although a change in the way the Scottish Government reports the figures means cases of people re-infected with the virus are now included. The latest figures showed almost one in 10 (9.3%) of Friday’s cases were reinfections. And the total is almost 4,000 more than the 5,848 cases that were announced just a week ago on Friday February 25.
