A Steps concert in Glasgow is among the sources of new cases of the Omicron COVID variant in Scotland, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said.
Six cases are understood to be linked to the concert at the Hydro arena on 22 November.
Risk to those who attended is said to be low, and those who may have come into contact with the new variant at the event are being contacted.
“The number of Omicron cases now being reported in Scotland is rising, and cases are no longer all linked to a single event, but to several different sources,” Ms Sturgeon said, confirming one of them as the concert.
