Scotland has recorded two new coronavirus-related deaths and 6,185 new cases in the past 24 hours, according to the latest figures.
This brings the death toll of people who tested positive for the virus in the previous 28 days to 10,311, although weekend figures tend to be lower as registration centers are generally closed.
The number of new cases is 494 lower than the figure recorded on Saturday and 144 lower than last Sunday.
However, Sunday’s statistics, released by Public Health Scotland, include two days worth of statistics from the NHS Borders health board as it did not submit data on Saturday.
