The number of cases of Covid-19 in Scotland were announced by Public Health Scotland today.
The number of people who had either their first or second dose yesterday was again low, and is the eighth day since the end of June that the number of people vaccinated has fallen below 30,000.
Today the total of those vaccinated is 27,170.
Ms Sturgeon said on Friday that today’s vaccination figures mean that more than 50% of the population is now fully vaccinated. Yesterday’s case numbers was the highest ever since the start of the pandemic.
The next review point will be 19 July by which time three weeks will have elapsed from the point when all over 50s should have been offered the vaccine. At that point the government hopes that all of Scotland can move to Level 0 and physical distancing can be reduced from two metres to one.
After that the next significant date is 9 August when the vast majority of over 40s will have a significant level of protection. At that time it might be possible to move beyond Level 0, but it will depend on the data at the time. But in any case the government will not advise an immediate return to full offices working from 9 August. All of these measures will take time to put back in place.
