According to the latest figures released by the Scottish Government, today, Tuesday, the number of test-positive coronavirus cases in Orkney remains at four.

This news comes shortly after a briefing from Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, in which she confirmed that a total of 4,229 positive tests had now been confirmed across the nation.

The First Minister also outlined plans to expand the way COVID-19-related deaths are reported, and wished Prime Minister Boris Johnson a speedy recovery from his own personal battle with the virus.
