Scottish Government confirms one new Covid death and 3,118 cases in last 24 hours

One new  coronavirus deaths  have been reported in Scotland but there's been a further 3,118 positive cases overnight - the highest increase in weeks.

The Scottish Government  announced the latest figures on Monday, June 28, as the virus continues to spread across the country.

215 people are currently in  hospital with 20 requiring intensive care as they battle the bug.

A total of 277,335 Scots have now caught coronavirus since the start of the pandemic with 7,713 deaths recorded.

3,781,887 people have now had their first dose of the vaccine while 2,701,195 have been doubled jabbed.

Meanwhile restrictions on travel from Scotland to Manchester, Bolton and Salford will be lifted tomorrow after an angry political backlash.

Nicola Sturgeon’s Government announced the ban on non-essential travel to the Greater Manchester area earlier this month over concerns about covid levels.

However Andy Burham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, hit back and  blasted SNP ministers  for not telling him in advance of the restrictions.

A parliamentary answer from Health Secretary  Humza Yousaf  has confirmed it will end from June 30.
