The 10 neighbourhoods in Glasgow with the lowest Covid rates have been released.

It comes as Nicola Sturgeon is due to provide a Covid update to MSPs on Tuesday, February 8. 

She is expected to give the latest figures and give an update on whether any restrictions will be relaxed. 

Health Secretary Humza Yousaf said Scotland has made it "through the worst" of the Omicron variant.

On Sunday, 23 people were in intensive care with Covid-19, the lowest figure since July, with 958 people in hospital – the fewest since early January.

Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland’s Good Morning Scotland programme on Monday, Mr Yousaf said: “I think we’re through the worst of it.

“I definitely think the last few weeks of December and the first few weeks of January – that five to six-week period – was probably the worst… and most intense period the health service has ever come under in its 73-year existence.

“That’s not coming from me, that’s coming from people… who have been working there for decades and decades.

“While we’re through, perhaps, the worst of it, we should also say that there is still significant pressure on the health service,” he said.

“That pressure comes from the continued number of Covid patients, they’re just under 1,000, thankfully, who are in hospital with Covid.

“It also comes from the cumulative impact of two years of a pandemic and having to catch up with that significant backlog.”

On Monday, the Scottish Government reported 5,809 new coronavirus cases but no deaths in the previous 24 hours.

The official figures mean the number of people who have died within 28 days after a positive Covid test remains at 10,433.

However, authorities noted that register offices are generally closed at the weekend.

There were 958 people in hospital on Sunday with recently confirmed Covid-19, no change on the previous day, with 23 in intensive care, down one.

In addition, on Sunday 13 confirmed Covid-19 patients had been in intensive care longer than 28 days.

So far 4,422,719 people have received their first dose of a Covid-19 vaccination, 4,136,739 have received their second dose, and 3,320,254 have received a third dose or booster, according to figures published by the Scottish Government on Monday.
