The Scottish Government has confirmed that 10 people have died from coronavirus in the last 24 hours.
The latest figures for Scotland showed that 1498 new cases had also been identified overnight.
It brings the death toll since last March – of people who first tested positive for the virus within the previous 28 days – to 8,013.
There are currently 356 people in hospital confirmed to have the virus with 42 being treated in intensive care.
The total number of positive cases since the pandemic started stands at 357,917.
4,034,420 people have received the first dose of the Covid vaccination and 3,375,524 have received their second.
The figures come as 16 and 17-year-old's have been urged to get their jabs before returning to school.
Youngsters in this age group are now eligible for the covid jab after being granted permission by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) last week.
The majority of school kids will head back to the classroom early next week after a six-week break from studying, however on their return they will still have to wear face coverings in order to prevent the spread of the deadly virus.
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf took to Twitter to urge people aged 16 and above to get a jab at their nearest vaccination centre.
