Scottish Government confirm 2,528 new Covid cases and 21 deaths

Scotland has recorded 2,528 cases in the past 24 hours, the latest Scottish Government figures show.

A further 21 deaths have been recorded, but the figures released on Sunday are for the previous 48 hours, after a "data issue" meant death numbers could not be reported on Saturday.

It means the death toll under this daily measure, of people who first tested positive for the virus within the previous 28 days, is now 9,052.

The daily test positivity rate was 9.9%, up from 8.7% the previous day.

There were 899 people in hospital on Sunday with recently confirmed Covid-19, up three on the previous day, with 58 in intensive care, down three.

So far, 4,305,582 people have received their first dose of a Covid-19 vaccination and 3,892,224 have received a second dose.
