Scottish Government announces 26 deaths and 2,010 covid cases in last 24 hours

The Scottish Government has confirmed that 26 people have died from coronavirus in the last 24 hours.

The latest figures for Scotland showed that 2,010 new cases had also been identified overnight.

There are currently 932 people in hospital confirmed to have the virus with 63 being treated in intensive care.

To date 4,320,370 people have now received their first vaccination with 2,910,253 people having had a second jab.

The figures come as an expert has issued a warning to older people and those in high risk groups ahead of Christmas this year.

John Roberts from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries said he is concerned they will not all receive their booster jabs in time.

He added that gatherings and parties could also further the spread as the booster may not be available for some until January 2022.

Scots aged between 60 to 69 and others in high risk groups are currently being vaccinated as boosters and flu jabs.
