Coronavirus (COVID-19) – update on confirmed cases
Information on the latest number of confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19), including those in the Forth Valley area, and the total number of tests carried out in Scotland, can now be found on the Scottish Government website. This information will be updated daily at 2.00pm.
NHS Forth Valley’s health protection team have already identified any individuals who have been in close contact with the Forth Valley confirmed cases (close contact involves either face-to-face contact or spending more than 15 minutes within two metres of an infected person). If you have not been contacted directly then you are not at any potential risk.
NHS Forth Valley, along with all other Health Boards across Scotland, has well-rehearsed plans and procedures in place across to deal with coronavirus (COVID -19). This includes tracing of anyone who has been in close contact with a positive case and management of any potential cases in a way that protects the public and NHS staff.
Up-to-date information and advice on coronavirus can be found on NHS Inform and the NHS 24 helpline can also be contacted on 0800 028 2816.
