Glasgow covid: neighbourhoods with highest case rates as city remains in Level 3

Glasgow has been in the grip of a Covid-19 breakout for a number of weeks, with case numbers and infection rates rising in the city.

The high rates are particularly prevalent in the south side of Glasgow, which has been hit hardest by the breakout.

The city has remained in Level 3 lockdown restrictions in a bid to reduce the infection rate, while the rest of Scotland has moved to either Level 2 or Level 1 measures.

However, yesterday Nicola Sturgeon said there are "signs for cautious optimism" in Glasgow following a major spike in coronavirus cases in the city.

She confirmed the data over the past two days suggests that case numbers are stabilising, and added that it was "important to recognise public health measures will take time" and that "we don’t lose heart".

Glasgow's current seven-day covid positivity rate per 100,000 is at 138.7 according to figures released by Public Health Scotland.

The latest statistics have also revealed the case numbers and infection rate in each neighbourhood of the Glasgow City Council boundary.

It confirms that the south side of the city remains the worst-hit area by a significant margin, with Kingston West and Dumbreck, Pollokshields East and Ibrox East and Cessnock seeing the highest infection rates in the city.

However, other areas of the city continue to see very low case numbers, with more than 40 neighbourhoods around the east end, west end and north of Glasgow recording virtually no new positive cases.
