Coronavirus cases in South Lanarkshire fell by more than a quarter last week.
Despite an increase in East Kilbride and Avondale, COVID-19 cases across the region are now at their lowest since September.
Figures published by Public Health Scotland revealed there were 305 new cases of the virus between Sunday, February 21, and Saturday, February 27.

Last week was the sixth consecutive week that case numbers fell across South Lanarkshire following a spike after Christmas and New Year.
Thorntonhall, Jackton and Gardenhall (15) recorded the highest number of new cases last week after 15 were confirmed - three times higher than the previous week.
