A total of 1062 people have now died from coronavirus in Scotland - an increase of 77 deaths overnight.
The number of positive confirmed cases of Covid-19 has risen to 9038, up 366.
There are 155 Scots currently in intensive care units across the country receiving treatment, it has been confirmed.
Of the confirmed positive cases 1776 people are in hospital.
The latest stats come after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said health matters more than wealth in the coronavirus pandemic.
The SNP leader insisted there will be no “trade-off” between lives and jobs as a shock report predicted a third of Scotland’s economy is set to be wiped out.
She said lifting lockdown too soon would be “dangerous” after the warning of a catastrophic 33 per cent hit to economic output.
The Scottish Government forecast, published on Tuesday, also predicts long-term “scarring” for communities dealing with rapid job losses.
Sturgeon said the economy cannot recover while the public faces a “rampaging virus”.
She said: “I think it is wrong, and potentially quite dangerous, to see this as a trade-off between health and saving lives on the one hand and protecting the economy on the other.
“The only solid basis for a sustained economic recovery is a population that is not facing the threat of a rampaging virus.
“While we understand the deep damage of the lockdown measures on our economy, which is why it is important to protect as much of the productive capacity of the economy as possible, it is equally true to say that if we come out of lockdown early – and if that results in a resurgence of the virus and a necessity then to reimpose lockdown measures – the damage that will do to the economy is potentially even greater.”
