Renfrewshire has recorded a third consecutive week without a death from Covid-19.

Latest figures released by the National Records of Scotland, for the week ending May 23, show the total number of fatalities in the area since the pandemic began more than a year ago remains at 525.

Just three of Scotland's 32 council areas had a Covid death last week.

South Lanarkshire was worst hit, with two fatalities, while East Dunbartonshire and Falkirk each recorded one death.

The figures include all fatalities registered where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate and, as this includes suspected or probable cases, it differs from the lab-confirmed coronavirus deaths announced daily by the Scottish Government.

Across Scotland as a whole, the death toll now stands at 10,114.

Renfrewshire is currently in Level 2 of the Scottish Government's coronavirus restrictions.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will deliver an update on levels across Scotland on Friday.
