All nine cases of the new Omicron variant of Covid are linked to a single event, the first minister has said.
Nicola Sturgeon told MSPs that all those affected had been tested on or around 23 November and had been self-isolating since then.
She said the cases all traced back to a "single private event" on 20 November.
She added: "We fully expect that there will be more cases identified over the coming days that are also linked to this event."

That's how easily it spreads. Possibly just one person infected at least 8 others. That's an R rate of well above 1 or 2.
