Here we present a simple methodology based on basic surveillance metrics for monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and its burden on health services in Scotland. We illustrate how this has been used throughout the epidemic in Scotland and explore the underlying biases that have affected its interpretation.}, journal = {MedRxiv}, publisher = {medRxiv}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.30.20158790}, }
