There are no new cases of Covid recorded in Orkney today and the cumulative total for the islands has been reduced by 2 cases . On 28/07/2021, there was a reduction in the cumulative number of positive cases due to the removal of duplicate historic cases. The cumulative total for Orkney now stands at 150.

The stats for Scotland 28th July 2021 are as follows:

1,179* new cases of COVID-19 reported

* Public Health Scotland (PHS) has undertaken work to improve their COVID-19 reporting process to ensure they continue to provide the most accurate and timely information. As a result of this, today’s testing figures covering the latest 24 hours will include a small number of tests notified between 12:00am and 5:15am on 27 July that would have been reported in yesterday’s daily figures. This is due to the transition to a new reporting schedule including cases up to 12am on day of reporting; there is no double counting in the cumulative totals reported today.
