Health bosses have issued an urgent plea to Moray residents to self-isolate if they have Covid symptoms amid concerns about rule breakers.
Concerns have been raised people are continuing to visit other households despite displaying signs or the virus or being identified as a close contact of someone who has tested positive.
The sharp rise has put in doubt the region moving to Level 2 restrictions with the rest of the country later this month.

Scottish Government guidance indicates that an area must have fewer than 50 cases per 100,000 in order to be considered for level two restrictions.
Paul Southworth, consultant in public health at NHS Grampian, said: “The situation in Moray is continuing to worsen. Last week the rate was around 50 per 100,000 and that is rising rapidly. We have also seen an increase in covid hospital admissions from Moray this week.
“In the last seven days Moray has seen 55 per cent of Grampian’s cases – but has less than 17 per cent of the population.

HEALTH chiefs have warned of a deteriorating situation in Moray amid reports that some people are failing to self-isolate and breaching rules on indoor gatherings. The region currently has the worst Covid rate in Scotland amid a recent surge in cases, and there are growing fears that it may be left behind when the rest of the country unlocks into Level Two restrictions later this month. The latest figures show that prevalence of the virus in Moray has climbed to 81.4 cases per 100,000, compared to just 11 per 100,000 in neighbouring Aberdeenshire and Highland.
