Covid Scotland: Coronavirus deaths pass 6,000 as death rate declines

The number of coronavirus deaths in Scotland has passed the 6,000 mark, according to latest figures. National Records of Scotland (NRS) statistics show there were 224 deaths where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate between December 7 and 13, a decrease of eight from the previous week. As of Sunday, a total of 6,092 such deaths had been registered in Scotland. NRS analysis also found the deprivation gap is widening, with the Covid-19 death rate in the most deprived areas between March and November 2.3 times that in the least deprived areas. This gap has increased in recent months from 2.1 earlier in the pandemic. The NRS figures differ from the lab-confirmed coronavirus deaths announced daily by the Scottish Government using Health Protection Scotland data because the former includes suspected or probable cases of Covid-19.
