Speaking on Good Morning Scotland this morning Professor Leitch said: “Delta is really hard. You can see it around the world causing problems, so we are concerned.
"A big percentage [of people testing positive] are under 40 so that means the harm is not as significant.
"But people are still harmed by this virus.”
