The death toll under the daily measure - of people who first tested positive for the virus within the previous 28 days - remains at 8,070.
Register offices are generally closed at the weekend, which can affect the number of deaths able to be recorded.
Although the number of new cases has dropped by one since the previous day, the test positivity rate has risen from 10.8% to 12.4% in the same period.
The number of new cases remains above 3,000 for the fifth consecutive day.
Numbers of coronavirus patients in hospital and intensive care have also risen.
A total of 356 people were in hospital on Sunday with recently confirmed Covid-19, up by 18 on the previous day, with 41 patients in intensive care, up by seven.
So far, 4,082,698 people have received the first dose of a Covid-19 vaccination and 3,572,042 have had their second.
The First Minister tweeted: "With cases on the rise again - in Scotland and elsewhere - I will be giving a Covid update today at 12.15pm. I’ll be joined by CMO @DrGregorSmith. Please tune in if you can."
Glasgow and the City of Edinburgh remain the areas with the highest cases as the two cities accounted for 789 of the new coronavirus cases alone.
North and South Lanarkshire are also heavily infected, with 519 positive cases between them.
The 12:15pm briefing will be available to view on the First Minister's live Youtube stream, here.
