Coronavirus (COVID-19): daily data for Scotland

Scottish COVID-19 test numbers: 11 May 2020

A total of 74,063 people in Scotland have been tested through NHS labs to date. Of these:

• 60,436 were confirmed negative
• 13,627 were positive
• 1,862 patients who tested positive have died

These figures will be an underestimate. Not everyone with COVID-19 will display symptoms and not all those with symptoms will be tested.

Management information reported by NHS Boards shows:

• 80 patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 were in intensive care last night, with 72 of those having tested positive
• there were 1,145 people in Scottish hospitals with confirmed COVID-19 (including those in intensive care), and a further 308 where it was suspected

* = less than five

Numbers in hospital were previously reported in this table as the total of confirmed and suspected. However from 5 May onwards these are confirmed only. This is due to discontinuity in suspected cases due to increased levels of screening. .

Other daily management information

On 10 May there were:

• 2,346 tests carried out by NHS Scotland in hospitals, care homes or the community, making a total of 101,122 COVID-19 tests through NHS labs to date.
• In addition, there were 1,238 drive through and mobile tests carried out by the Regional Testing Centres in Scotland bringing the total to 27,647 tests to date.
• 6,532 calls to 111 and 135 calls to the Coronavirus Helpline. The number of calls to 111 includes all calls, whether or not they relate to COVID-19.
• 1,459 Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) attendances, of which 242 were for suspected COVID-19. SAS took 157 people to hospital with suspected COVID-19.
• 474 (44%) adult care homes with a current case of suspected COVID-19 as at 10 May. At least one resident in the care home has exhibited symptoms during the last 14 days.
• 609 (56%) adult care homes which have lodged at least one notification for suspected COVID-19 to the Care Inspectorate since the start of the epidemic. 434 of these care homes have reported more than one case of suspected COVID-19. 
• 4,503 cumulative cases of suspected COVID-19 in care homes. This is an increase of 58 suspected cases on the previous day.
• a total of 6,227 staff, or around 3.8% of the NHS workforce, reporting as absent due to a range of reasons related to COVID-19.
• 3,114 inpatients have been discharged from hospital since 5 March, who had been tested positive for COVID-19, up from yesterday’s total of 3,099.
• 632 people delayed in hospital as at 8 May. This is 980 less than the baseline period (04/03 weekly return). An initial target to reduce delays by 400 by the end of March and a further target of reducing by a further 500 by the end of April have now been met.
• 3,672 staff were reported as absent in adult care homes due to COVID-19, based on returns received from 822 (76%) adult care homes as at 5 May. Staff absent due to COVID-19 represents 8.5% of all adult care home staff (43,403) for whom a return was provided. The absence figures for NHS staff and care home staff are calculated in different ways and caution should be exercised in making comparisons – see the data sources and definitions document for full details. This data will be updated weekly.

As at 5 May, we have been notified by Health Boards or the Care Inspectorate of 7 deaths of healthcare workers and 6 deaths of social care workers, related to COVID-19. We are not able to confirm how many of these staff contracted COVID-19 through their work. We will update this information every Wednesday.
