Coronavirus – Saturday’s figures

May 1, 2021 3:18 pm

The latest figures detailing the number of people diagnosed with Covid-19 in the 24 hours to 1 Mayl in Scotland are shown below.

The whole of Scotland is now in Level Three from 26 April 2021. There is a table below prepared by The Scottish Government on what you can and cannot do when Level Three restrictions apply.

On 17 May Scotland is expected to move into Level Two allowing people to meet indoors in small groups with a further move to Level 0 on 7 June.

As at 25 April 2021, 10,078 deaths were registered in Scotland where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate according to weekly statistics reported by National Records of Scotland. These figures are updated each Wednesday. The number of weekly deaths due to COVID-19 are now at their lowest level since early October.

The BBC has explained that from 24 March:

Live briefings will only be broadcast on BBC One in Scotland when it is expected that “major new information” will be shared – such as a formal review of restrictions
If a UK government briefing is broadcast live on BBC One in Scotland, there will be additional coverage so Scottish parties can respond
The BBC will consider the significance of the public health information which is expected to be discussed, and requirements on impartiality, when deciding whether to broadcast other government briefings. It is expected that these briefings would be shown on BBC Scotland or the BBC News Channel
If a live briefing is led by a Scottish government minister, members of the other main parties will be invited to contribute to the coverage

Special Ofcom rules for broadcasters around impartiality take effect in the lead up to elections in the UK which take place on 6 May 2021.
