The latest figures on deaths related to Covid-19 in West Dunbartonshire have been revealed.

Official statistics show that between Monday, June 21 and Sunday, June 27, there were no deaths in the area in which Covid was mentioned on the death certificate.

Last week, West Dunbartonshire saw its first death related to Covid-19 in almost two months.

It means that the number of people who have died from Covid in West Dunbartonshire in 2021 remains at 66.

The total number of Covid-related deaths recorded in West Dunbartonshire is 244 from when the pandemic began last March.

Public Health Scotland says there were 366 confirmed positive Covid tests in West Dunbarton in the seven days to June 26, a 7 day rate per 100,000 population of 411.6.

The rise in local positive tests has been labelled "concerning" by NHS officials, who have urged people to exercise caution despite the relaxing of restrictions.

Figures from across the country as a whole reveal a rise in deaths over the past week.

A total of 17 deaths relating to Covid were registered across the country in the seven days to June 27, up from 13 the previous week.

In total, 10,168 deaths have been registered in Scotland where coronavirus was mentioned on the death certificate, according to the statistics.

Of these registered this week, 14 happened in hospital, and three in a home setting.

The statistics are published weekly and cover all deaths registered in Scotland where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate.

They differ from the lab-confirmed coronavirus deaths announced daily by the Scottish Government because the NRS figures include suspected or probable cases of Covid-19.
