Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed there were 37 new coronavirus deaths in Scotland over the last 24 hours.
It takes the total number of deaths in Scotland to 2,791.
Scottish Government figures revealed this afternoon that a further 1,128 Scots have also tested positive for the deadly virus.
There were 416 new cases in Greater Glasgow and Clyde, 266 in Lanarkshire, 117 in Lothian and 121 in Ayrshire and Arran.
The other cases were spread across nine other heath boards with Western Isles being the only area reporting XX new cases overnight.
Shetland was the only health board which had no new cases.
That takes the total testing positive since the start of the pandemic to 61,531.
Some 1152 patients are currently being treated in hospital, with 86 in intensive care units.
The new figures comes as the First Minister will confirm Scotland's local lockdown restrictions in a briefing from parliament today.
Nicola Sturgeon will lay out how the five tiers will apply across the country's 32 local authorities, which gives time to prepare for the new rules which come into effect on Monday next week.
Last night, the First Minister appeared to pull back on suggestions North and South Lanarkshire will face the toughest measures.
It had been thought these regions would be placed in the new harsh level four, which would keep pubs shut and restrict non essential shops.
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.”
