The death toll since March 2020 – of people who first tested positive for the virus within the previous 28 days – is now 10,433.
The latest figures for Scotland showed 5,593 new cases had also been identified overnight.
There are currently 958 people in hospital confirmed to have the virus with 24 being treated in intensive care.
So far 4,421,427 people have received their first dose of a Covid-19 vaccination, 4,135,751 given a second dose and 3,317,694 have received a third dose or booster.
