📈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Coronavirus cases have surged over the past week to make Scotland the Covid capital of Europe.

🚨 So, how serious is the current situation in Scotland?

🧵 A thread...

telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…
🦠 Scotland is now the worst-hit region in the UK, with 317 infections per 100,000 people - more than double England's rate.

📈 On Friday, it reported more than 4,000 cases - the highest number so far in the pandemic, although hospitalisations and deaths remain mercifully low Image

👉 Serology data from the ONS shows Scotland has fewer people with antibodies against Covid-19 than England: 79 per cent compared with England’s 87 per cent Image
