Scottish Government figures reveal there were 28 coronavirus deaths in Scotland over the last 24 hours.
Statistics released online this afternoon show a further 1202 Scots have also tested positive for the deadly virus.
There were 451 new cases in Greater Glasgow and Clyde, 292 in Lanarkshire, 152 in Lothian and 91 in Ayrshire and Arran.
The other cases were spread across nine other heath boards with Western Isles being the only area reporting no new cases overnight.
That takes the total testing positive since the start of the pandemic to 60,403.
Some 1117 patients are currently being treated in hospital, with 85 in intensive care units.
Scotland's new five-level system of lockdown restrictions was debated the Scottish Parliament yesterday.
Nicola Sturgeon confirmed ministers are considering placing North and South Lanarkshire in the toughest level of lockdown from next week.
She revealed outline restrictions for council areas across the country when a new framework takes effect on November 2.
The SNP leader said it was "likely" the rest of the central belt would be placed at level three - similar to the existing level of restrictions - while some rural parts of Scotland could be put at level one.
The Scottish Government also issued advice this week to Scottish families planning to go guising for Halloween this weekend.
Parents are being asked to keep children home, and dress up for Halloween, or have a family Halloween party at home.
It is being advised that guising from door-to-door should not take place this year to limit the spread of coronavirus.
Last Thursday Scots were warned to get ready for a “digital Christmas” by national clinical director Jason Leitch.
Leitch said: “I’m hopeful costs now may get us a more family Christmas.
"But Christmas is not going to be normal, absolutely no question about that.”
