SCOTLAND'S national clinical director Jason Leitch has caught Covid-19.
He confirmed he had the virus with a post on Twitter and reminded everyone to “be careful” amidst rising case numbers.
The Office of National Statistics (ONS) estimated that one in 30 people had the virus although one expert said figures could be even higher.
Leitch wrote on Twitter: “Well, it finally got me for the first time.
“Global and Scottish cases are rising. Be careful everyone.
Well, it finally got me for the first time. Global and Scottish cases are rising. Be careful everyone. I’ll be following the recommended guidance and hoping for a short, easy course. I’m very glad I’m fully vaccinated. pic.twitter.com/cydk6jIiVx

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
