Today's Public Health Scotland Covid infection rate data as Glasgow stays in Level 3

A further 414 new cases of coronavirus have been recorded in Scotland in the last 24 hours.

New data was published this afternoon as part of a daily update by the Scottish Government and Public Health Scotland.

No new deaths were recorded overnight, meaning Scotland's death toll from the virus stays at 7,664.

However, 10,109 fatalities have been registered in Scotland where COVID-19 was mentioned on the death certificate up to Sunday, May 16.

In terms of Public Health Scotland's rolling seven-day infection rate per 100,000 population, Glasgow City has the highest rate in the country — at 122.6 as of Thursday, May 20.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced earlier today that Glasgow would remain at Level 3 restrictions for at least another week.

East Renfrewshire has the second-highest infection rate at 116.2 — but will remain at Level 2 — while Clackmannanshire is third with 85.4

Of Ayrshire's three local authorities, North Ayrshire has the highest rate of 34.9 compared to East Ayrshire (21.3) and South Ayrshire (8.0). The national average is 39.1
