Commenting on the fact that West Dunbartonshire has the highest percentage of symptomatic residents of any Scottish local authority, according to the new symptom tracker app launched by Kings College London, Jackie Baillie MSP said:

“It is frightening to learn that with 4.83% of people in West Dunbartonshire presenting symptoms, our community has the highest concentration of coronavirus cases in Scotland and this is before the expected peak.

“There could be any number of reasons for this, but we can do everything possible to avoid the spread of the disease any further in our community and that means following the government guidelines.

“It may be frustrating but I would urge people to stay home, help the NHS and save lives.”
