Glasgow covid: Neighbourhoods with highest case rates as national cases surpass 1,000 overnight

Coronavirus cases have continued to rise across Scotland, with the number of positive tests increasing by 50% in the past week.

More than 1,000 covid cases were recorded in Scotland in the past 24 hours - the highest number in 16 weeks.

Glasgow remains the area with the highest number of cases, with 268 of the confirmed 1,011 positive tests recorded in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde health board area.

The city finally moved to Level 2 restrictions after an extended period of time under tighter Level 3 measures. However, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon warned there would be no other immediate changes to the current levels system, with the situation remaining "fragile".

Glasgow's current seven-day covid positivity rate per 100,000 is at 158.4 according to figures released by Public Health Scotland - an increase from the end of May when the rate was 138.7.

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

The previous south side outbreak has tempered, with communities with the highest rates now in less concentrated areas, including Kingspark North in the south side, Garthamlock, Auchinlea and Gartloch in the east end, and Maryhill East in the north west of the city.

Neighbourhoods with highest infection rates per 100,000

  • Kingspark North - 516.1
  • Garthamlock, Auchinlea and Gartloch - 475.1
  • Pollokshields East - 377.22
  • Darnley North - 367.0
  • Darnley West - 366.2
  • Maryhill East - 348
  • Cardonald North - 346.5
  • Castlemilk - 341.4
  • Carnwadric West - 331.1
  • Pollokshields West - 321.8
