NO new coronavirus-related deaths have been recorded across the NHS Grampian region since last week's update.

Today's update from the National Records of Scotland confirmed 17 deaths Scotland-wide between June 29 and July 5 but none of those were in Moray, Aberdeenshire or Aberdeen City.

However, six new cases of the virus have been confirmed in the area, taking the total to 1427. A total of 34 people are in hospital, with fewer than five in intensive care.

Grampian-wide, the death toll remains at 258. Of those, 122 were in Aberdeen City, 116 in Aberdeenshire and 20 in Moray.

Across Scotland, 4173 coronavirus-related deaths have been recorded since the outbreak began, according to NRS figures. That includes all deaths where coronavirus was mentioned on the death certificate, even if the person hadn't tested positive for covid-19.

The 17 deaths recorded across the country between June 29 and July 5 represents the tenth straight weekly reduction of deaths involving coronavirus.

The Scottish Government's daily update showed 2490 people have died within 28 days of testing positive for coronavirus. That is a rise of four deaths from last Wednesday.

In total, 267,598 people in Scotland have been tested through NHS labs and regional testing centres, with 245,341 negative tests and 18,309 positive. A total of 4106 have been discharged from hospital after testing positive.
