Additional data sources relating to this topic area are provided in the Links section of the Metadata below. \r\n\r\nAll publications and supporting material to this topic area can be found on the Enhanced Surveillance of COVID-19 in Education settings section of the Public Health Scotland website.\r\n\r\n__From 11/06/2021 data completeness will be up to the previous Wednesday, so weekly data are aggregated from Thursday to Wednesday. Previously data covered periods from Saturday to Friday.
