1,104 new cases of coronavirus have been reported in Scotland overnight with no deaths.
The latest figures were announced by the Scottish Government on Friday, June 11, as the fight against the pandemic continues.
132people are currently being treated in hospital after testing positive for the bug with 13 requiring intensive care treatment.
The total number of coronavirus deaths sits at 7,679 while 244,714 have been confirmed as having caught the virus since the outbreak began.
A total of 3,459,063 people have now had their first coronavirus of the vaccine while 2,375,246 have been double-dosed.
Meanwhile, international students studying in Scotland are to be included in the national coronavirus vaccination programme.
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf has confirmed this will take place in line with guidelines from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) for the coming academic year (2021-22).
The move will both protect incoming students during their studies and prevent possible further transmission.
Mr Yousaf said: “There is a huge amount of work going on to ensure that everyone is able to get vaccinated.
“This is crucial to the success of the programme and our efforts to bring the virus under control.
“Based on the latest data, we estimate there could be around 65,000 international students studying in Scotland in the next academic year.
“I am pleased to confirm they will be included in our national vaccination programme.
“Of course many will be from countries where there is a mature vaccination system and they will already be fully or partially vaccinated.
“However, some may not yet have been vaccinated or may still require a second dose and we are currently working with the Universities and Colleges Scotland as well as local health boards to firm up plans for these students.
“We continue to urge everyone to take up their appointment for a vaccine when it is offered and remember the second dose offers greater and longer protection against the virus.”
