Three residents at a council-run care home have been hospitalised with covid-19 symptoms.
More than 10 staff at the Hawthorn House facility are also self-isolating amid growing fears about the impact of Coronavirus on the wider sector.
It emerged yesterday that a quarter of the 900-plus coronavirus deaths in Scotland were in care homes.
Nearly 40 per cent of the country’s care and nursing homes around Scotland have cases.
Hawthorn House in Possilpark accommodates 120 residents and has 152 staff.
Glasgow council said: “Three residents from Hawthorn House in Possilpark are currently being treated in hospital with Covid 19 symptoms.
“A number of staff from the care home are currently self-isolating as per the Public Health guidelines. This could be because a member of their family has symptoms, not necessarily because they have symptoms themselves.”
It came as a major care home operator revealed over 120 staff are off work with covid-19 related issues.
Thistle Healthcare, which runs ten homes in Scotland, said staff had displayed personal Coronavirus symptoms in around 40 per cent of the cases.
Fourteen workers have tested positive for the deadly disease.
