One further coronavirus death was recorded overnight in Scotland with 232 new positive cases.
The Scottish Government announced the latest figures on Friday, May 7, as efforts to control the virus spreading continue.
It was also reported that 68 Covid-19 patients are currently being treated in hospital with eight in intensive care.
The total number of confirmed cases now sits at 227,248 since the start of the pandemic while 7,661 people have tragically lost their lives.
The number of people who have received their first dose of the vaccine sits at 2,876,633 while 1,424,208 have had their second.
It comes as students and staff at Scots higher education facilities are now able to access rapid coronavirus testing through their local college.
More than 100,000 lateral flow testing kits have been distributed to colleges across Scotland to help detect cases in people with no symptoms.
Authorities are urging people to take part in voluntary testing twice a week using the at-home kits.
A limited number of students are currently allowed on to college campuses at any one time in line with current public health guidance, with safety measures such as social distancing in place.
