Covid surge in Scots town may lead to May Day perfect storm
Health bosses warned of a “perfect storm” which could be fuelled by the easing of lockdown as Covid cases surged in Moray ahead of the May Day weekend. The majority of cases have been detected in Elgin and the area currently has one of the highest rates of Covid-19 in the country. Residents have been urged to act responsibly and take up asymptomatic testing to ward off a further spread of infections. Susan Webb, NHS Grampian’s public health director, said: “We really are on a worrying trajectory in Moray and it is vital everyone ensures they are sticking to the rules to ensure the area isn’t left behind as the rest of the country unlocks.

Moray Council has warned it is “inevitable” that more services will have to be pulled or altered after a Covid-19 lockdown was imposed for the second time.
The region had been one of the few parts of the country operating with Level 1 restrictions before Christmas.
However, the imposition of Level 4 from Boxing Day, followed by a “stay at home” lockdown this week, has forced council bosses to rethink what services can be run.
