Nicola Sturgeon has announced that there have been no COVID-19 deaths in Scotland for the sixth day in a row.
Speaking at her daily coronavirus briefing in Edinburgh today, the First Minister said that there is usually a higher number of deaths reported on Monday as it also includes weekend figures, however this has not been the case this week.
The death toll from confirmed cases remains at 2490 but, adding suspected cases, the figure stands at 4175.
There have been three new cases of COVID-19 in Scotland detected over the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 18,368.
A total of 668 patients are in hospital with a confirmed or suspected case of the virus, up 67 from 550 the previous day.
