There was 956 new cases of COVID-19 reported in Scotland overnight, this is 14.9% of newly tested individuals.
The Scottish Government said there was no new deaths in people who tested positive, although Register Offices are generally closed at weekends.
35 people were in intensive care yesterday with recently confirmed coronavirus and 449 people in hospital with the virus. 18,022 new tests were carried out in the past 24 hours.
The new cases come as Nicola Sturgeon spoke about the spread of Covid-19 in Scotland.
When asked if she had lost control of the virus in Scotland, Ms Sturgeon told Sophy Ridge on Sky: "No, absolutely not, we're working hard to make sure that doesn't happen."
The First Minister said that while the virus was "spreading a little bit faster", the number of cases per 100,000 are the lowest in the four nations.
"That is because over the summer we suppressed the virus... That doesn't mean we can be complacent about it, or not take it very seriously.
"It shows we were right to do that over the summer and I think we're right now to act quickly and decisively to try and stop that increase in cases."
Asked about the restrictions in place in Scotland, which include closures of pubs and restaurants, and any confusion about the rules, Ms Sturgeon said: "I think most people know if they're a restaurant or a cafe.
"What we've tried to do here is put in place restrictions that can have the effect you want them to have which is reducing the spread of the virus.
"Now that means we have to reduce quite dramatically the volume of the things that people can come together and interact. We've tried to do that but also build in a bit of flexibility."
The First Minister explained cafes, which sell light meals and typically do not serve alcohol, were kept open for social isolation reasons.
She added: "We can be a lot more simple but that usually means a lot harder, we're trying to strike the right balance here between controlling the spread of the virus but allowing as much normality as possible.
"Leaders like me everywhere right now, it feels like we're holding lives in one hand and jobs in the other and we're trying to strike a very, very difficult balance and do that as best we possibly can."
