Dr Tim Allison, director of Public Health with NHS Highland, said: “There is still a high level of Covid-19 within the Highlands and minimising spread remains vitally important.
“When dealing with a disease that can be asymptomatic, such as Covid-19, it is necessary to diagnose cases as early as possible to prevent more people becoming infected without realising.
“The regular taking of LFD tests in our community helps the NHS to find asymptomatic cases and stop the virus spreading.”
