Covid cases start to soar again in East Dunbartonshire

The latest figures released today reveal there were 43 cases per 100,000 people in the week from 19-25 September. The total number of positive cases was 47, a jump of more than 20.

The average area in Scotland had 35.

The latest news is disappointing as just a week ago, cases had dropped. This came after new restrictions banning people from meeting indoors, introduced at the beginning of the month.

The number of deaths in East Dunbartonshire remains at 139.
