The Scottish Government’s daily figures showed there had been a new single-day record of 714 cases.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted later and said: “This is our biggest daily tally of cases so far. Important therefore to start with some caveats. We are doing much more testing now than in Spring. These figures are impacted by university clusters. And Test & Protect is working hard and well.
“However we have absolutely no room for complacency – on the contrary. Cases are rising across Scotland, as in other countries. The number of people in hospital (99 today) has doubled in last couple of weeks. And we can only beat Covid back together – we must all play our part.
“So, please, for now, stay out of each other’s houses; stick to the 6/2 rule outdoors and in indoor public places; download protect.scot; and follow FACTS. We will get through this – but only if we all act to protect ourselves and each other. Let’s stick with it.”
