No people have lost their lives to coronavirus overnight as a further 386 positive cases were discovered in Scotland.
Health Secretary Jeane Freeman announced the latest figures at the daily coronavirus briefing in Edinburgh on Monday.
A total number of 824 are being treated in hospital with 71 of those in intensive care.
The latest figures bring the death toll for Scotland to 7,131 on the one-year anniversary of the first case being discovered in Scotland.
Nationwide contact tracing is underway after three people were found to have caught the Brazilian variant of the virus.
It was revealed at the weekend that three Scots had tested positive after travelling from Brazil to Aberdeen via Paris and London.
The alarming discovery was made while the trio were completing their 10-day period of self-isolation last month.
After the news broke, Jeane Freeman said: “The identification of this new variant is a concern but we are taking every possible precaution.
“We have identified these cases thanks to our use of advanced sequencing capabilities which means we are finding more variants and mutations than many other countries and are therefore able to take action quickly.
“This new variant demonstrates how serious Covid is and reinforces the need to minimise the spread of the virus.
“We would encourage everyone across the country to adhere to the necessary public health restrictions by staying at home except for essential purposes as this is the single best way of staying safe and stopping the spread of this virus.
“It is now also illegal for anyone to travel to or from Scotland unless it is for an essential reason.”
