The number of Covid-19 cases have skyrocketed across Tayside and Fife in the past month.
Rising rates have meant that on June 28, the latest data available, every neighbourhood in Dundee had a seven day case rate of 400+ per 100,000 population.
Only five neighbourhoods – four in Fife and one in Perth and Kinross – were reporting suppressed numbers, meaning there was between zero and two cases in the seven-day period.
