Still not looking good and we have to be patient. The ferry traffic to Newcastle like all other ferries has been suspended until May 20th, 2020. This of course is a tentative date only following the present estimation of the development.
As a snapshot number (but please see the link) Scotland has 5,950 confirmed cases, the first one was known on March 1st. It is assumed that actually the cases number 500,000. Up to now 550 cases of death are confirmed.
To this date 29,903 persons have been tested. Of these
- 24.313 were negative
- 5.950 were positive
- 550 of the positive persons died
