Covid in Scotland: Glasgow has highest infection rate in Scotland
- Published
Public Health Scotland has published the latest data on the number of positive tests for each of Scotland's 32 local authority areas.
It shows that Glasgow now has the highest weekly rate - at 286.7 per 100,000 of the population.
South and North Lanarkshire, which previously had the highest rate, have gone down since last week.
The infection rate is one of the five "indicators" the Scottish government is using to determine which of the five levels each council area will be placed in.
The threshold for moving into Level 4 is 300 cases per 100,000 of the population.
The other indicators are the percentage rate of positive tests, a forecast of rising cases, a projection of hospital beds needed and the use of ICU capacity.
