Coronavirus in Glasgow - how many Glaswegians have had Covid-19 since first recorded case in March

The Greater Glasgow and Clyde region has had the biggest number of coronavirus cases of any area in Scotland, perhaps not surprising given the population.

Glasgow's first cases were recorded way back on March 11, when five people were found to have Covid-19.

Since then, there's been a dramatic rise and fall in the number of cases and, thankfully, the virus is now being suppressed across the country.

As of today, the total number of cases in our region so far stands at 5,019, an increase of 15 on the previous day.

Excluding the June 15 figure of of 795, when the Scottish Government opted to include all those who tested positive at UK Government-run regional testing centres, today's figure of 15 is the highest daily number since 18 cases were recorded on May 28.

And to get a better idea of the trends in figures over the past few months, we've crunched the numbers to look at the difference in daily increases in coronavirus cases specifically in Glasgow since those first cases back in March:
