Every region of Scotland has now registered at least one positive case of COVID-19.
It is a scary time, with numbers and statistics being released every day, and it can be difficult to keep track of the situation in your own area.
We have compiled all of the country's data in one place, making it easy for our readers to view the latest figures in their area.

How do we collect the data?
We update our tool every day with the latest figures.
The number of positive cases, people in hospital and people in intensive care are provided every day at 2pm by the Scottish Government.
Positive test numbers are reported to Health Protection Scotland by laboratories, who then pass the numbers on to the Scottish Government.
NHS Boards provide the Scottish Government with management information on the numbers of patients in intensive care units, and also the number of patients in acute hospitals beds with confirmed or suspected COVID-19.
The number of deaths by health board are provided to the Scottish Government by National Records of Scotland. It includes all deaths of individuals with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19, and so includes deaths in hospitals, care homes and the community.
The daily number of deaths does not mean that this was their date of death - it means that their death has now been registered, which can take a few days.

Figures include deaths where ‘suspected’ or ‘probable’ COVID-19 appears on the death certificate.
Numbers are provided by location of hospital, not residence.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
