A technical issue has impacted on today's Covid update – but 26 further deaths linked to the virus have sadly been confirmed in Scotland.
In a briefing note, the Scottish Government and Public Health Scotland said: "Daily data on new cases, tests, ICU admissions and vaccinations will not be refreshed today due to a technical issue affecting the availability of the data.
"Tomorrow’s update will include figures for today."
The issue means the seven-day infection rate data for each council region remans as it was on Tuesday, September 14.
Nationally, there are 1,054 patients being treated in hospital. There are currently 94 people with the disease being treated in ICUs.
As of yesterday, a total of 517,216 positive tests had been recorded from 3.011 million tests carried out since the start of the pandemic.
According to Public Health Scotland's rolling seven-day infection rate per 100,000 population, West Dunbartonshire had the highest rate in the country – at 1,112.7 as of Tuesday.
East Renfrewshire had the second-highest infection rate at 968.1 while Inverclyde was third at 901.9.
In terms of Ayrshire's three local authorities, North Ayrshire had the highest rate of 803.7 while East Ayrshire's rate was 755.8 and South Ayrshire's was 665.2.
A total of 17 of Scotland's 32 council regions had an infection rate below the national average of 677.6.
