He said new figures showed that over the past week Covid cases in Edinburgh had increased from 65.9 to 134.3 per 100,000.

And four city high schools – Broughton High, Gracemount High, Holyrood RC High and Wester Hailes Education Centre – have all announced Covid cases in recent days.

Mr Cole-Hamilton said: "What these figures show is that while the vaccine programme is holding back another wave of deaths, the virus is still spreading. The increase in the rate here in Edinburgh is alarming, and speeding up the vaccine roll-out by offering a walk-in centre makes sense.”
