Scottish Government confirms 24 deaths and 3,249 new cases in last 24 hours

A total of 24 people have died from  coronavirus  in the last 24 hours, the  Scottish Government  has confirmed.

The latest figures for Scotland showed that 3,249 new cases had also been identified overnight, bringing the total number to 656,497.

The daily death toll of people who first tested positive for the virus within the previous 28 days now stands at 9,267  since March 2020.

There are currently 823 people in hospital confirmed to have the virus with 55 being treated in intensive care.

To date 4,321,350 people have received their first vaccination with 3,914,397 having a second jab.

It comes as Scots holidaymakers will face new  travel restrictions  unless they are triple-jabbed, as some countries tighten  Covid  entry rules.

Jet-setters who do not receive their  booster jabs  may be unable to visit two countries from this week.

Austria and Israel have now implemented time limit rules that determine whether a person will be allowed to enter the country.

The timing of a person's  vaccination  will now reflect the validity of their status, according to the tougher rules.
