NHS Tayside is investigating a single positive case and a small number of suspected cases linked to Parker House in Dundee. Close contacts of the positive case, who is a student of Abertay University, are being contacted.

Dr Daniel Chandler, NHS Tayside's associate director of public health, said: "We know from outbreaks in other university settings across Scotland that the virus can spread very quickly in student accommodation. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, we are contacting all residents of Parker House and advising them to self-isolate immediately."

The latest case comes after a number of students at Aberdeen University tested positive for Covid-19.
All residents in Wavell House halls of residence in the Hillhead Student Village are being asked to self-isolate for 14 days, unless advised otherwise.

UK Summary

People tested positive

Daily 6,178

Total 409,729

They sure do have a problem there.

The UK has recorded 6,634 new coronavirus cases, according to the latest data on the government’s coronavirus dashboard.

That is an increase from 6,178 yesterday and it’s the highest daily total on record.

However, that does not mean that the incidence of coronavirus in the UK is as higher, or higher, as it was when case numbers last peaked in the spring. At that point relatively few tests were being carried out. Far more tests are being carried out every day and and so a much higher proportion of positive cases are being picked up.

The dashboard also shows that a further 40 people have died from coronavirus in the UK.
