A further 12 people have died from Coronavirus in Scotland bringing the death toll to 2,375.
The Scottish Government confirmed the number of cases has increased to 15,471 a rise of 53 from yesterday.
A total of 1168 people are in hospital, while the number of people in intensive care sits at 34.
The update comes as restrictions have been eased across the country.
On Thursday last week, Nicola Sturgeon announced plans for Phase 1 of easing lockdown in Scotland.
The First Minister handed the country a welcome boost ahead of the weekend by announcing households will be free to meet one other as long as they are outdoors and stay two metres apart.
With a period of fine weather expected across the country, Scots will be free to sunbathe in public spaces and sit in parks as of Friday.
But the SNP leader reminded Scots that the battle against Covid-19 had not been won and urged the public to stay safe by following strict social distancing rules.
The First Minister's plea came as she revealed for the first time that someone close to her had been struck by the virus.
“Until this weekend I didn’t know anybody personally within my own family, friend or close-colleague network - to the best of my knowledge - who had this virus in a significant way,” Sturgeon said.
“That changed this weekend. Why am I telling you that? Because it’s still there. Even with the numbers going down, there are still people being tested positive for this virus.
“It’s ready to pounce, it’s ready to jump across all these bridges that we offer it.
“If we want to stop that we must stick to the guidelines. I’m saying this as a citizen as much as First Minister. Please do that.”
