Scottish Covid cases stabilising, heath secretary says
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf believes Covid case numbers appear to be stabilising in Scotland.
Mr Yousaf said the last few weeks had been the most challenging ever faced by Scotland's health service. But people with Covid still need to be kept separate from other patients to limit the spread of infection - something that puts pressure on ward capacity.Mr Yousaf insisted the NHS can cope with the situation - though he warned "really difficult decisions" were having to be made.
Mr Yousaf said: "Every single health board including Greater Glasgow and Clyde are having to deprioritise other treatments, and at times quite urgent treatment, and people are having to suffer as a result." New figures from the National Records of Scotland showed 118 confirmed or suspected coronavirus deaths in the week to 20 March, the same number as the previous week.
Two years on from the first lockdown was introduced in the UK, a day of remembrance has been organised by charity Marie Curie.
