The weekly coronavirus cases in Glasgow have fallen to the lowest level this year.
The seven-day total is the third week in a row where positive testes cases have dropped by around 400 compared to the week before.
In Glasgow, the statistics for the seven days up to January 29 showed there had been 1319 positive tested cases.
It is a reduction of 380 from the previous seven-day total and more than 1000 fewer than in the first week of the year when the total was 2515.
The rate of positive cases per 100,000 of population, a key indicator for the government allocating lockdown levels, has dropped in the city to 208 per 100,000.
The previous week it was 268 per 100,000, and in the first seven days of this year it was as high as 397 per 100,000.
But some areas were still very high. In Glasgow the area with the highest rate was Carmyle and Mount Vernon South, which had 18 cases representing 684 per 100,000 people.
It was one of eight local areas in the city, shown on the map as the darkest purple, where the rate remained above 400, per 100,000.
The others were Drumchapel North and Drumry West, both with 17 new cases.
Cardonald North with 20 new cases and 462 per 100,000 and Craigend and Ruchazie with 26 cases, which was 456 per 100,000, were next highest.
The others with above 400 per 100,000 were Roystonhill, Blochairn and Provanmill, Carnwadric West and Milton West.
There were another 57 local areas, shown as the second darkest purple on the map, where the rate was between 200 and 399 per 100,000.
They ranged from the highest in that category, Springburn, with 18 new cases, Darnley North, 14, Drumry East, 13 and Maryhill West, with 12. They all had a rate of just over 390 per 100,000.
To the lowest in that category were, Cartnyne West and Haghill with 10 new cases, Drumoyne and Shieldhall, 13, Dalmarnock, 8, Dennistoun, 9, and Glenwood South with 10.
All had a rate of between 200 and 210 cases per 100,000 population.
The rate of coronavirus in Glasgow, while it is reducing, is still significantly higher than the rest of Scotland.
The rate per 100,000 for the whole country is 136 as there were 7439 cases recorded in the seven days up to January 29.
The highest rate was in North Lanarkshire with 225 per 100,000. The only other council area where the rate was above 200 was North Ayrshire, which had 201 per 100,000.
Most of the country, 18 of the 32 local authority areas had between 100 and 199 per 100,000.
