Glasgow has registered its lowest number of Covid cases in a seven-day period in almost six months, according to Public Health Scotland data.

Information from the Public Health Scotland website shows that there were 1542 cases registered between April 25 and May 1.

The last time a figure for a seven-day period was lower than that was back in November 2021, when 1534 cases were identified between the 21st and 27th.

Since then, there have been two waves of cases - first when Omicron hit the UK, and the second in March when the BA.2 subvariant took over as the dominant strain.

The figure news comes after another big change was made to the Covid-19 rules in Scotland. People are now no longer required to self-isolate if they test positive for coronavirus and do not have to take a test if they feel unwell.
