Scottish Government announces one new coronavirus death and 860 new cases overnight

The Scottish Government has announced one coronavirus deaths and 860 new cases in Scotland overnight.

The latest figures were released today as restrictions eased across parts of the country.

A total of 116 people are currently being treated in hospital with eight receiving intensive care treatment.

The latest figures bring the total number of confirmed cases to 238,893 since the start of the global outbreak last year.

To date 7,676 people have sadly lost their lives to the virus.

Meanwhile, 3,326,005 people have now received their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine with 2,170,570 having had second jags.

It comes after parts of Scotland moved down a level of lockdown from midnight while several council areas in the central belt remained at Level 2.

The city of Glasgow was finally moved from Level 3 restrictions today.

The latest changes to Scotland's tier system mean that more rules around everyday life eased, bringing people one step closer to normality.

Under Level 1, 2 and 0 restrictions, more people can meet indoors, go to the pub and attend a wedding.
