The Scottish Government has confirmed 12 people have died from Covid-19 in the last 24 hours.
It brings the overall death toll since last March - of people who first tested positive for covid within the previous 28 days - to 9,719.
The latest daily figures for Scotland also show a further 4,087 cases of the virus have been identified overnight.
Since the start of the pandemic, 761,900 have tested positive.
There are currently 552 people in hospital confirmed to have covid with 33 being treated in intensive care.
To date, a total of 4,361,197 people have received their first vaccination with 3,971,488 having a second jab, while 2,076,084 have received a third dose or booster.
On Friday, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced changes to self-isolation rules in Scotland following the spread of the Omicron variant across the country.
All household contacts of any confirmed covid cases will now need to isolate for a period of 10 days, regardless of vaccine status.
It follows the recording of a further 5,018 covid cases in Scotland on Friday.
And in an interview with BBC Breakfast on Saturday, deputy first minister John Swinney said the government would spend the weekend deciding what to do next.
He told the programme: "We are looking at whether we need to take further measures to try to arrest the circulation of the virus. We had a huge rise in cases yesterday and that suggests we have an escalating problem.
"The government is wrestling with the challenge of what are the right rules to have in place over this weekend. We will share details of any changes with parliament over the next few days."
The restrictions come after Public Health Scotland urged the public to cancel their Christmas parties this year due to the potential for Omicron to spread.
The body made the decision in the wake of concerns about NHS sickness levels after staff festive nights out.
An Omicron evidence paper released by the Scottish Government also predicts that the new strain will become the dominant variant across the country.
