In Scotland in the last 24 hours there have been a total of 2481 positive cases of coronavirus which equates to 11.4 per cent of those tested overall.

Public Health Scotland has issued a cautionary note however that a data issue means that figures from one laboratory have not been received over the weekend, leading to considerable under-reporting today.

Amongst these newly reported cases NHS Greater Glasgow recorded 470 cases and NHS Lothian 385 cases.

NHS Grampian saw 370 cases while NHS Highland recorded 150 cases.
