The Scottish Government has confirmed there have been 3,080 new Covid-19 cases in the latest 24 hour period.
According to the latest figures for Scotland there were nine new deaths recorded.
A total of 708 people were in hospital with the virus, and 66 patients were in intensive care units.
To date, 4,341,224 people have received their first vaccination with 3,941,715 having had a second jab.
It comes after Nicola Sturgeon announced changes to the Covid vaccine passport scheme during a speech at Holyrood on Tuesday.
Since last month, Scots have been required to show evidence they have had at least two doses of the coronavirus vaccine to gain entry into a number of ‘high risk’ venues or events. These include large events such as concerts, football matches and nightclubs.
It had been expected that the scheme would be extended to the likes of cinemas, theatres and hospitality venues.
But the First Minister announced this will not happen ‘at this stage’ during her speech at the Scottish Parliament.
The rules on the Covid vaccine certification scheme will change slightly from December 6.
Scots will be allowed to enter venues already covered by the scheme by showing a recent negative lateral flow test result, regardless of vaccination status.
Evidence of both jabs will still be accepted by door staff from this point.
The First Minister hopes the move will encourage people to use lateral flow tests more often to stop hospitals from being overwhelmed during the winter months.
Scots have also been urged to take the rapid tests before socialising with friends and family over the festive period.
