Cases of Covid-19 have dropped within Dumfries and Galloway – but not far enough and not quickly enough, according to health officials.
In the week ending January 17, there was a total of 432 new positive cases identified in the region, down from 561 the previous week.
But it has been warned that hospitals are still under "huge strain" from new admissions.
NHS Dumfries and Galloway Chief Executive Jeff Ace said people must "go further and do more".
He said: “It seems wrong when we’ve had such a great public response and when numbers are dropping to then ask people to go further and do more – but it really is vital that they do.
