How many care homes for groups other than older people or people with dementia have had notifiable outbreaks of COVID-19.

All care homes in Scotland are registered with the Care Inspectorate and these providers are required to notify the Care Inspectorate of a suspected or known outbreak of infection. This includes each individual case of COVID-19. The Care Inspectorate shares data on outbreak and deaths notification with Scottish Government daily. There are currently 1082 care homes in Scotland, of which 267 are classified as catering for vulnerable adults who are neither elderly nor have dementia. Of those, 75 care homes have notified the Care Inspectorate that there have been COVID-19 outbreaks on their premises.
That information is broken down as follows:
