Coronavirus latest – no new deaths in Highlands
There have been no new deaths throughout the NHS Highland area from either confirmed or suspected Covid-19, and so the death toll remains at 113.
It is the first week since fatalities first emerged on March 23 that this has happened.
Each Wednesday the National Records of Scotland (NRS) issues numbers of cases where Covid-19 has been mentioned on a death certificate.
That means that in the NHS Highland area, since the outbreak began, 37 of the total number of deaths have occurred in care homes, with 15 occurring at home and 61 in hospital.
In the smaller Highland Council area, the number of Covid-19 related deaths in the region still stands at 49.
Fourteen of those deaths were in care homes with seven at home and 28 in hospital.
The NHS Highland area includes Argyll and Bute Council and Highland Council areas and has a combined population of around 320,000.
The Highland Council area has approximately 235,000 residents.
Scotland as a whole has seen a rise in the total number of Covid-19 deaths of just 70 bringing the total to 4070.
That is up from 4000 registered seven days ago, though the rate of increase has fallen for a seventh week in a row.
In a more detailed breakdown of the national numbers, 1896 people died in care homes, 285 people died at home, 1882 died in hospital and seven elsewhere.
