Covid-19 clusters in Glasgow and Lanarkshire have been linked to house parties.

A joint statement from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and NHS Lanarkshire said the two boards were working together on the outbreak.

A total of 14 linked Covid cases have been identified in north-east Glasgow in addition to eight North Lanarkshire cases.

The health boards confirmed on Monday that the cases were linked.

They also said that evidence of social gatherings with no social distancing was a factor in their investigation.

A spokesman for both organisations said: "We can confirm there are links to cases across both health boards. We work closely on cross-board issues on a regular basis, including on the current clusters, where investigations are ongoing.

"There is currently no evidence of transmission in the schools.

"There is evidence that mixing socially, particularly around social gatherings in houses, without maintaining physical distancing measures can transmit the virus and is a factor in this investigation."

Scotland's national clinical director Jason Leitch warned that "unregulated" house parties were a "real concern".

He said young people were meeting in numbers beyond what was allowed and with no physical distancing.

"This our first real palpable example of [house parties] giving people positive infections of a virus that can make us very sick," he said.

Mr Leitch told BBC Radio Scotland's Drivetime programme communication was a difficulty and said "influencers" and teachers should be used to help get the message across to young people that house parties were helping spread the infection.

It emerged on Sunday that a pupil at Bannerman High in Baillieston, who had attended classes when the school reopened last week, had tested positive for the virus.

Several other pupils at Bannerman High had previously tested positive, but began self-isolating prior to the return to class last week.

Five pupils at nearby schools in North Lanarkshire have tested positive in recent days, including:

Three pupils from St Ambrose High School in Coatbridge
One pupil from St Andrew's High School in Coatbridge
One pupil from Caldervale High School in Airdrie
There are also three further linked cases who are not pupils or staff at the schools.

Test and Protect is now tracing those who were in contact with the pupil at Bannerman High and Glasgow City Council has written to parents.

Covid-19 in Scotland: Where are the latest cases?
Parents of a senior pupil at one of the affected schools in North Lanarkshire told the BBC they were "disappointed" their son had to self-isolate after "the selfish actions of others".

They did not want to be identified, but said they were informed their son was sitting close enough to one of the positive cases for more than 15 minutes and had to self-isolate.

His mother said: "We've done everything we can to protect our children during lockdown. So we are really disappointed that the actions of others has resulted in this.

"We got a phone call on Sunday night and our world turned upside down. Test and trace phoned to advise that our teenage son had been identified as a contact of a positive pupil at Caldervale High.

"Our son had already seen it via social media, he knew who the boy was and had sat next to him in a class. And because he had sat next to him for over 15 minutes he has to get contacted by Test and Protect."

She added: "He has to isolate until 27 August. He's now missing school because of selfish actions of people having house parties.

"We believe this has all stemmed from a house party at Coatbridge involving a large number of kids. People who are encouraging young people to get involved in parties do not understand the implications on others."

The child's father said he had to take his son to be tested at Ravenscraig on Monday morning.

He added: "there were three cars in front and we had to do the test ourselves in the car. By the time we had finished there were another 10-15 cars with kids in them doing tests."

During the Scottish government coronavirus briefing on Monday, Nicola Sturgeon said: "I am concerned about what appears to be a rising number or cases, albeit that many of these new cases we are seeing are linked to known clusters and outbreaks.

"But nevertheless it's a really sharp reminder for us that the threat of the virus has not gone away.

"All of us need to be really, really careful, ultra-careful when it comes to abiding by all of the public health advice."

She said people must be careful about the school connection as they are community outbreaks that involve school pupils but are not school outbreaks.

Marks & Spencer is cutting 7,000 jobs over the next three months across its stores and management.

It said the coronavirus pandemic had made it clear there had a been a "material shift in trade".

In-store sales of clothing and home goods were "well below" 2019, although online and home deliveries were strong.

The retailer said it expected a "significant proportion" of the jobs to go through voluntary redundancy and early retirement.

In a statement, M&S said it was "too early to predict with precision where a new post-Covid sales mix will settle. We must now act to reflect this change".

But the retailer said operating during the pandemic had showed it could work "more flexibly and productively", with more staff multi-tasking and moving between food, clothing and home departments.

At the height of lockdown in May, M&S boss Steve Rowe said customers might "never shop the same way again" after the coronavirus crisis.

"Whilst some customer habits will return to normal, others have changed forever," he said.

And last month the retailer announced 950 store management and head office jobs were at risk because it needed to accelerate its restructuring.

They're ****ed if they keep that up; it's pretty conclusive now that the Global strain of Covid-19 is the strain that mutated in Europe (probably Italy) and in lab settings it's up to 10x more contagious (not more dangerous to the individual, just easier to catch) than the original Wuhan strain that hit China. Wuhan/China have never actually fought the same virus that we've been fighting in Europe and in the US. The more contagious tsrain will loop back round to them eventually and if they're having gatherings like this, it'll take hold very quickly.

On another note, Covid or no Covid, that crowd looks absolutely horrendous and is making me feel claustrophobic .

[bitontheslide]

if they are confident that no-one is infected then it's not an issue

Does chlorine kill the coronavirus?
“The coronavirus doesn’t survive in chlorinated water,” infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, MD, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in Maryland, tells Health.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t get COVID-19 while in a swimming pool. Coronavirus is a respiratory illness, which means it spreads when droplets from the mouth or nose fly through the air. So anywhere you’re interacting with others who are talking, coughing, or sneezing—even if you’re in the water—puts you at risk of inhaling a droplet from an infected person.

Dr. Adalja says the biggest risk of going to the pool lies out of the water. “There can be crowded conditions and common touch surfaces (like the deck and the locker room) that may provide an opportunity for the virus to transmit,” he says.
