While this list is based on the number of cases confirmed by Public Health Scotland, data suggests that the number of Omicron cases in Scotland could possibly be much higher, spreading across every health board.
The latest data showed Scotland was sitting at 526 confirmed cases, which is almost double the figure reported the day before – 296.
