SEVEN new cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Moray since Friday afternoon, taking the area's total to 55.
Two of the cases were confirmed over the weekend, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, with five confirmed today – the largest daily increase in Moray since the Northern Scot started tracking figures locally on April 29.
Grampian saw an increase of 28 cases overnight, meaning there are now 1078 confirmed cases of covid-19 across the region.
Aberdeenshire has 384 confirmed cases of covid-19, with Aberdeen City having 625. Highland has 180 cases.
At midnight, there were 99 people in Grampian hospitals with confirmed or suspected coronavirus, with 11 in intensive care.
Across Scotland, 74,063 people have been tested for coronavirus, with 60,436 negative and 13,627 positive.
Sadly, 1862 of those who tested positive have died. A total of 3114 patients have been discharged from hospital.
Yesterday, Scotland's First Minister confirmed people in Scotland can now exercise as many times a day as they want – but that is the only change to lockdown life for the people of Moray and Scotland.
The message remains: Stay home, protect the NHS, save lives.
