Latest Public Health Scotland Covid infection rate data as IT issues hit case numbers

A further 313 new cases of coronavirus have been recorded in Scotland – but there have been no new deaths from the disease.

Public Health Scotland said this afternoon that, due to technology issues, the latest figure for cases covers the last 26 hours rather than the usual 24-hour period.

Data from NHS health boards in Ayrshire and Arran, Dumfries and Galloway, Orkney and Shetland may be incomplete, health chiefs say, due to IT issues. The missing numbers will be included in tomorrow's data.

According to Public Health Scotland's rolling seven-day infection rate per 100,000 population, Clackmannanshire now has the highest infection rate in the country – at 139.7 as of Sunday, May 23.

The second-highest is Glasgow City which has a rate of 136.8 while East Renfrewshire (113.1) has the third-highest rate.

Locally, North Ayrshire's infection rate stands at 43.8, East Ayrshire's at 29.5 and South Ayrshire's at 13.3. The Scottish average is 43.9.
