A total of 1,515 people have now died of coronavirus in hospital in Scotland, an increase of 40 deaths from Thursday.
The number of positive confirmed cases of Covid-19 have risen to 11,654 which is an increase of 301.
Latest figures also show that 110 Scots who currently have confirmed or suspected coronavirus are in intensive care units which is a increase of 1.
And confirmed or suspected cases in hospitals now stands at 1,089 which is an increase of 61.
The latest statistics were announced by the Scottish Government today.
The figures come of the back of the first report of Coronavirus in a care home on the Isle of Skye yesterday, and the first confirmed death of a care worker in Glasgow today.
The 64-year-old man was a long-standing employee at Wyndford Locks care home in Maryhill, where at least six residents have died and a number of staff have fallen ill.
Home Farm care home in Portree, Skye's main town, has a "small number of confirmed cases" of the potentially deadly virus with staff members self-isolating.
The coronavirus infection rate in Scotland needs to be "substantially lower" than it currently is before pupils can return to schools, according to the Deputy First Minister.
John Swinney told STV's Scotland Tonight programme that a careful balance needs to be struck for pupils being allowed to return - which would also have a knock-on effect on their parents returning to work.
Mr Swinney, also the country's Education Secretary, discussed the reduction of the R number which had been the subject of First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's briefing earlier on Thursday.
A total of 11 Scots who worked for the NHS or the social care sector have died from coronavirus since the start of the pandemic.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced the tragic news during her daily press conference on Wednesday.
