Covid in Glasgow: Cases spike follows India not being put on UK red travel list, says expert

Questions have been raised over whether the whole of Glasgow will be able to move to level two restrictions as planned on Monday amid concern over rising Covid-19 case numbers.

Local outbreaks centre mostly in the south of the city, around Pollokshields and Govanhill, as well as a pocket in the east in Easterhouse.

Rates of Covid per 100,000 population are much higher in these areas than Scotland as a whole, with Pollokshields East at 575, almost 23 times that of the Scotland-wide rate.
