Covid rates in Edinburgh reveal local hotspots and areas with barely any cases

Edinburgh's Covid infection rate has dropped again in the last seven days, but some areas have developed as hotspots in the city.

The latest coronavirus data from Public Health Scotland shows a number of areas of the capital have had barely any infections in the previous seven days with three cases or fewer recorded.

But other parts of the city have become hotspots with a rise in infections compared to data from previous weeks.

This figure allows areas with different sized populations to have their infection rates compared more proportionately.
