More than 700 new cases of Covid-19 have been recorded in Scotland and one new reported death, according to the latest Government statistics.
In the last 24 hours, 735 people were confirmed to have caught the virus since Wednesday - considerably less than yesterday's figures which reached 1,111 cases for the first time since February.
However, cases are still considerably higher today then they were since before March, when the country was in full lockdown.
Of the tests for Covid-19 which reported results, 2.8% were positive, lower than the 5% the World Health Organisation indicates a pandemic coming under control.
Since yesterday, there has been one new death of someone who had tested positive for the virus in the past 28 days, meaning the death toll by this measure is 7,679.
A total of 124 people were in hospital yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19 and 14 people are intensive care - the same as Wednesday.
While, a total of 3,441,217 people have received the first dose of the Covid vaccination and 2,345,181 have received their second dose.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
