43 new cases in Scotland

27 of which are in grampian area (unknown but possibly connected to the outbreak in Aberdeen - investigations ongoing)

Leaves 16 for the other regions, will be interested to see how many Greater Glasgow and Clyde are responsible for as that was the other region which looked like numbers were on the rise with 17 new cases there alone yesterday, hopefully that number is well down today.
5 Glasgow and Clyde.
 
Case numbers rising in many areas are largely down to increased testing so this is essentially true but....

Spread over the UK is different from where there are outbreaks as the outbreaks will become a rise everywhere if not checked.

So these two things should be of equal importance not one over emphasised and spreading the assumption the UK is safe via the overall data.

Its a tricky balancing act to get right but the message the public hear matters.

As we saw with the Aberdeen footballers rightly criticised today by Nicola Sturgeon.
