According to the National Records of Scotland (NRS), a total of 6,298 people have died in Scotland with confirmed or suspected coronavirus.

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.

Of these, the majority were in hospital at 124 (61 per cent), with 71 in care homes and eight at home or in a non-institutional setting.

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