Dumfries and Galloway coronavirus figures for Tuesday, October 27

The number of people to have tested positive for coronavirus in Dumfries and Galloway since the pandemic began is now at 818.

A further 25 new cases have been confirmed in the past 24 hours.

It means there have been 120 new cases in the past seven days and 407 during October.

There are currently 12 people in hospital, compared to 16 yesterday.

In Scotland, there were 1,327 new cases today, taking the total to 59,201.

The proposed new tiered system of restrictions is due to be discussed in the Scottish Parliament today.

The category each region falls into is due to be announced later in the week, although First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has hinted most places won't see too many changes when the new system is introduced on November 2.
