An Angus town with the highest coronavirus infection rate in Scotland will see the return of a mobile testing unit this morning.

NHS Tayside's rerouting its van for a second time in a matter of days.

62 cases have been detected in a week in a population of just six thousand people.

The alarming spike saw many pubs and hotels make the decision to close at the weekend - despite Angus moving into level 1 restrictions.

The testing van will open at a community centre car park at half past 10, and testing also be carried out in the town tomorrow and Friday (11th June)
