Latest estimates indicate 288,200 people in Scotland had the virus in the week ending 24 June.
The ONS survey said Covid infections in the UK had jumped by more than half a million in a week and hospital numbers were continuing to increase.A total of 2.3 million people in private households are estimated to have had the virus last week, up 32% from a week earlier.
Prof Hugh Pennington, of the University of Aberdeen, said Omicron was "good at getting about" but not as effective as causing serious harm to people.he was not surprised by the current surge in cases as less was being done to control the spread of the virus.Prof Pennington said: "There's a fair amount of chance involved; it depends on super-spreader events, where the virus was a few months ago and all these kind of things.
She believes the vast majority of cases in Scotland are people who have been infected for the first time.programme that Scotland appeared to be "just past the peak" or "hovering around a plateau"."In terms of the wider community, Covid has lost a lot of its ferocity and it is not as severe as it used to be in any way."
