There have been a total of 993 new coronavirus cases reported in Scotland in the last 24 hours.
Today's figures represent a total of 17.1 per cent of those who were tested for the virus on Sunday.
However, Nicola Sturgeon said a move of UK tests between different centres on Sunday may have caused a slight rise in the figures reported today and tomorrow.
Out of the new cases reported, 122 were in the Lothians, with a further 362 in Greater Glasgow and Clyde, 294 in Lanarkshire and 57 in Ayrshire and Arran.
The remaining cases are divided amongst the other mainland health boards.
Yesterday, a coronavirus map showed areas of Edinburgh and the Lothians that have seen the greatest spike in new cases over the last seven days.
The Meadows and Newington were some of the worst areas affected, whilst Oxgangs and Broomhouse reported no new transmissions.
