A total of 4,187 Scots deaths have been linked to Covid-19, official figures from the National Records of Scotland show.
A total of 13 deaths relating to Covid-19 were registered between July 6 and July 12, down five on the previous week.
The statistics are published weekly and account for all deaths registered in Scotland where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate.
They differ from the lab-confirmed coronavirus deaths announced daily by the Scottish Government because they include suspected or probable cases of Covid-19.
Analysis of Covid-19 deaths in Scotland by the National Records of Scotland has found that during the period from March 1 to June 30:
- 92% of people who died with the virus had at least one pre-existing condition, with dementia and Alzheimer's the most common.
- People in the most deprived areas were 2.1 times more likely to die with the virus than those living in the least deprived areas.
- The highest number of deaths of working people involving Covid-19 were among process, plant and machine operatives.
- People living in larger urban areas were over four times more likely to die with Covid-19 than those in remote locations.
