The first West Dunbartonshire Covid-19 death has been recorded this month.
One local resident passed away with coronavirus between September 7 and September 13.
The last Covid-19 death in West Dunbartonshire was the week beginning August 17.
Since the middle of March, a total of 126 local residents have passed away - where Covid-19 was mentioned on their death certificate.
The recent statistics were published by the National Records of Scotland (NRS) today.
Alan Ferrier, head of demographic statistics, said: “Every death from this virus represents heartbreak for families and communities across the country who have lost loved ones.
“However, since mid-July the number of deaths involving COVID-19 have remained relatively low, averaging out at one death every other day.
“The updated analysis once again shows that Covid-19 mortality rates are higher in urban, more populated areas, and in areas of highest deprivation.”
