AROUND 3,500 Shetland women between the age of 50 and 70 will be receiving invitations over the next few months to attend breast screenings in Lerwick. A mobile unit will return to Shetland on Monday 13 June, and it will be based at Clickimin Leisure Complex until early October..
NHS Shetland chief executive Michael Dickson says it is very unlikely that the recent number of cases of monkeypox in the UK will turn into anything like a “Covid-19 situation”. A total of three cases of the rare viral infection have been confirmed in recent days in.
COVID figures suggesting that Shetland currently has the highest infection rate anywhere the UK is not necessarily an accurate reflection of the true numbers and should be treated with a pinch of salt, according to the local health board. With the recent changes to the testing.
ANOTHER death of a person who had tested positive for Covid has been registered in Shetland. It was included in today’s (Wednesday) Public Health Scotland update. The daily Public Health Scotland statistics include people who died within 28 days of their first confirmed report.
HEALTH officials have again appealed to the wider public to continue taking “sensible precautions” as Covid numbers in Shetland and across Scotland remain high. The warning comes on the second anniversary of the first national lockdown, as a further 61 cases were added to.
