A further 1036 new cases of coronavirus have been recorded in Scotland overnight, according to the Scottish Government.

The daily test positivity rate is 5%, up from the 4.1% reported on Saturday.

In a note on the data, Public Health Scotland said it is aware of a delay at the Lighthouse Lab in Glasgow, which may mean tests and cases reported over the last 48 hours have been fewer than in the previous days.

Of the new cases reported on Sunday, 248 are in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde region, 230 are in Lothian, 151 are in Tayside, 111 are in Ayrshire and Arran, and 107 are in Lanarkshire.

The rest of the cases are spread out across six other health board areas.

No further deaths were reported.

The lab-confirmed death toll of those who tested positive currently stands at 7681, however figures including suspected Covid-19 deaths recorded by National Records of Scotland suggest the most up-to-date total is now at least 10,130.

It was also confirmed that 3,497,287 Scots have received their first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, an increase of 19,909 from the day before.

A total of 2,425,825 people have received their second dose, a rise of 23,125.
