Scottish Government confirms 2,134 cases and no new Covid deaths in last 24 hours

The Scottish Government have confirmed no coronavirus deaths overnight but a further 2,134 new positive cases.

The latest figures were announced this afternoon as the virus continues to spread across the country.

However, a delay at the Glasgow lighthouse lab is causing today's figures to be lower than predicted.

469 people are currently in hospital with 40 requiring intensive care as they battle the virus.

A total of 316,037 Scots have now caught coronavirus since the start of the pandemic with 7,757 deaths recorded.

3,934,408 people have now had their first dose of the vaccine while 2,893,271 have had their second.

It comes as twelve countries could be added to the quarantine free travel list later this week as cases begin to stabilise across Scotland.

According to the latest data countries such as Italy, Bulgaria and Germany have low enough coronavirus cases to get the green light from the government.

Representatives from the UK Government and the devolved administrations are set to meet later this week to decide which countries should be put on the green, amber and red lists.

People returning from green list countries don't have to self-isolate, however they do have to take a covid test after the arrive back in Scotland.
