One person has tragically died of coronavirus in Scotland in the last 24 hours.
The latest figures were announced by John Swinney this afternoon.
The Deputy First Minister revealed that 501 new cases of the virus were recorded overnight.
654 people are being treated in hospital while 59 are currently in ICU.
The latest figures mean that since the start of the pandemic, 7422 people have lost their lives to coronavirus in Scotland.
It comes as 28 people were arrested in connection with lockdown flouting celebrations of Rangers fans yesterday.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon branded the incidents “infuriating and disgraceful”.
She tweeted: “I share folks’ anger at this. Everyone has made so many sacrifices in the past year & seeing a minority risk our progress is infuriating and disgraceful.
“It is deeply unfair to the entire country, and the police have a hard enough job already. Please ask fans to go home.”
