Scotland has become the 'Covid capital' of Europe with five in ten of the areas with the highest infection rates, according to the Scottish newspaper. Citing the World Health Organisation, The Scotsman reported that Tayside has the highest rate of Covid cases in Europe with 677 cases. Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Fife, and Lanarkshire are also in the top ten areas with the highest infection rates. The reasons for Scotland's high Covid infection rates cannot be known for sure, but it's likely to be a number of factors. Meanwhile, the Highlands' largest hospital has been placed on "code black status" after reaching capacity amid increasing Covid cases, BBC reported.
