The number of people who have died in Scotland on account of coronavirus has risen to 220, up from 218 on Saturday. However, Nicola Sturgeon has advised this is not a true reflection of the number of deaths, due to the way in which these are reported.
The Scottish Government figures were announced by Nicola Sturgeon during this afternoon's briefing, with 3,706 positive cases confirmed, an increase of 361 on yesterday's figures.
There are now 931 cases in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde region.
Commenting on the number of additional deaths confirmed today, the First Minister said the new reporting system is not yet fully up and running seven days a week and this afternoon's figure should "not be taken as representative of events over this weekend.
"These figures will be reconciled on Tuesday and Wednesday and I expect them to increase from the 46 deaths reported yesterday."
As reported on the Scottish Government website, a total of 23,143 people in Scotland have been tested. Of these:
- 19,437 tests were confirmed negative
- 3,706 tests were positive
- 220 patients who tested positive have died
