NHS confirms Covid is circulating with cases expected to increase
The health board has confirmed that respiratory infections, including Covid, were circulating in Shetland – and are expected to increase through autumn and winter.
It follows national reports of a new variant with a “high number of mutations” detected in the UK – with experts keeping a close eye on its spread.

Hundreds of hospital wards closed due to Covid outbreaks
At least 237 wards were closed to new admissions - typically for periods of around seven to 10 days - in a bid to prevent the virus spreading to other patients.
That compares to a total of 93 ward closures up to the end of July for all other infection control incidents combined, including cases of norovirus, flu, RSV, or gastroenteritis.
The true figures will be higher, however, as NHS Dumfries and Galloway has not yet responded to a freedom of information request and NHS Lothian - Scotland's second largest health board - said it was unable to provide data.

China's emergency services 'overwhelmed' as COVID-19 wave sweeps country
As China grapples with its first-ever national COVID-19 wave, emergency wards in small cities and towns southwest of Beijing are stunned as they attempt to reel with the massive influx of critical cases.
Emergency rooms are turning away ambulances, relatives of sick people are searching for open beds, and patients are slumped on benches in hospital corridors and lying on floors for lack of beds.
In more than three decades of emergency medicine, Beijing-based doctor Howard Bernstein said, he has never seen anything like this.

Nightclub boss who mocked people for getting vaccine died of Covid
Grieving relatives of a nightclub boss who died of Covid after refusing to take the vaccine have urged others not to make the same mistake.
Anti-vaxxer David Parker, 56, dismissed the jab as ‘experimental’ and warned of a ‘big pharma’ conspiracy in posts on Facebook.
But Mr Parker, who had no underlying health conditions, contracted coronavirus weeks later.
He died at Darlington Memorial Hospital in County Durham on Monday.
Now his family are speaking out in a bid to persuade other vaccine sceptics to take the jab.
Mr Wignall, 59, who works as a director at the club, caught Covid on the same day as Mr Parker – but was fully vaccinated.
He added: ‘He (Mr Parker) didn’t believe in it and he didn’t want it, it w
