• Montrose’s Covid-19 assessment hub has moved from the car park to inside Links Health Centre’s Minor Injury and Illness Unit.

• Additional food supply hubs opened in Angus as part of the multi-agency, district-wide response to those hardest hit by the pandemic. The development is the latest stage of the Humanitarian Aid Angus Response Team initiative and has been accompanied by a renewed plea for people to ask for help during the Covid-19 crisis.

• Six firefighters have tested positive for coronavirus at a station in Glasgow. The workers at Springburn Fire Station began self-isolating after contracting Covid-19.
