Prof Linda Bauld said virus cases are rising as cases of two Omicron variants increase.
programme: "I think it's pretty clear to me from some of the data we've seen that we are certainly in another wave of infection, if not already it will be soon and that certainly seems to be the case in a number of countries.
"It might be surprising to people though because it's the summer, and they're used to hearing from us the weather is better so people are more outside and therefore we reduce the risks through our behaviour." The estimated Covid rate in Scotland is higher than in England, where it is believed one in 50 people had coronavirus in the week ending 11 JuneProf Bauld said vaccines gave good protection against severe disease, but thought it was likely that the offer of a booster jab may be extended to a wider range of groups in the autumn, beyond what the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation has recommended.
