A FURTHER 22 people have died with coronavirus in Scotland, according to the latest Scottish Government figures.
The new data shows that the number of people to die after testing positive for coronavirus in the previous 28 days is now 3911.
The figures recorded by the National Records of Scotland differ from these as they publish all deaths where Covid-19 is mentioned on the death certificate.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
