New record Scotland Covid infections in first figures of 2022
NHS Grampian's head of health intelligence Jillian Evans previously said data from her region suggested cases were still doubling every three days.Meanwhile the Scottish government's Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville said officials were paying "close attention" to the figures, and that all restrictions were kept under constant review.
"Although the numbers are high today, and obviously that's a concern, we're not powerless in this and there are things that everyone can do to play their part in ensuring that we keep the numbers as low as possible," she said. She also encouraged young people to get vaccinated when they are eligible. Drop-in vaccinations are now available in some areas for 12 to 15-year-olds, and they are being encouraged to get a second dose of the vaccine if at least 12 weeks have elapsed since their first jab.
