Coronavirus: Scotland sees second daily jump in Covid-19 cases

More than 20 new cases of Covid-19 have been detected in Scotland for the second day in a row. Saturday saw the biggest rise in nearly a month with 21 new cases - the largest daily increase since 21 June. A further 23 confirmed cases were reported on Sunday. However, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said it was still a low number of cases and fluctuation was 'to be expected'. The proportion of positive tests remains well below 1%. No new deaths were registered in Scotland following a positive test for the virus, meaning that only one death in the last 11 days has been recorded using this measure.
