A large localised Covid outbreak on the Isle of Lewis has been linked to one “large” social event, it has emerged.
So far 65 cases have been connected to the gathering – with speculation it may have been a wedding.
A spokesperson for NHS Western Isles said: “We are not identifying any events linked to cases.
“However we can confirm that the outbreak is linked to a large event held on Lewis.”
Meanwhile, scores of shoppers got jabbed at a pop-up Covid vaccination clinic in the main Co-op in Stornoway over the weekend.
The opening clinic on Friday saw more than 80 people inoculated in the health board’s first venture into widening vaccination clinics into community venues.
Another Co-op covid jab clinic was held on Saturday.
NHS Western Isles vaccinated nearly 1,750 people over the weekend at various clinics.
