Thirty four new Covid cases

A TOTAL of 34 new cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed in Shetland as numbers continue to rise.

Across Scotland more than 16,000 new cases have been reported as the Omicron variant spreads.

First minister Nicola Sturgeon said it was another record daily tally for the country.

She posted on Twitter that the “likelihood of getting it just now if you mix with others is high” and added that “being boosted gives you significant protection against becoming very ill with it”.
