There have been six new coronavirus deaths recorded in Scotland over the last 24 hours.
Nicola Sturgeon announced there were 848 new cases of Covid-19 reported overnight, taking the total figure to 180,533 since the start of the pandemic.
1,958 people are currently in hospital while 143 are being treated in intensive care.
Since the start of the pandemic a total of 6,112 people have died after returning a positive coronavirus test.
The new figures come as the country's vaccination programme has been ramped up with major hubs opening in Aberdeen and Edinburgh today.
The UK Government has also ordered an extra 40 million doses of the Valneva covid-vaccine which is being produced in Livingstone.
The move means 100 million doses of Valneva have now been put on order, enough for every adult in the UK, with the latest batch earmarked for delivery in 2022.
