ANOTHER 526 cases of Covid-19 have been recorded in Scotland, according to the latest figures.

The new stats also show more than two million Scots are fully vaccinated against the disease.

No further deaths were registered among people who tested positive in the previous 28 days, meaning the total under that measurement remains 7666.

However, registration offices tend to be closed at weekends. 

The number of new cases is down by 57 on yesterday’s total, though the positivity rate is up from 2.5% to 3.2%.

Some 83 people were in hospital yesterday with recently confirmed Covid-19.

Of these, four were in intensive care.

A total of 2,022,728 people have received their second dose of a coronavirus vaccine, up 24,319 in 24 hours.

The number of people who have received their first dose of a vaccine in Scotland now stands at 3,234,311, up by 118,541.

Glasgow remains the only area in Scotland under Level 3 of the Scottish Government's five-tier coronavirus restrictions, meaning residents cannot meet others indoors at home, travel out of the city or drink alcohol indoors in pubs and restaurants.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Friday that Covid-19 case numbers in Glasgow remain "uncomfortably" high, driven by an outbreak of the Indian variant of the virus mainly concentrated in the city's southside.

She said a decision would be made by Wednesday at the latest on whether the city can move to Level 2 on Saturday.

The Scottish Government has approved plans for up to 6000 people per day to attend an outdoor fan zone in Glasgow Green over the 31 days of the Uefa Euro 2020 tournament beginning on June 11.

The approval is "subject to the state of the pandemic nearer the time" but Deputy First Minister John Swinney believes it will go ahead.

He told BBC Scotland's The Sunday Show that evidence demonstrates measures taken to supress the outbreak, including drop-in vaccination centres and door-to-door testing, as well as remaining at a higher restriction level, are "successful".

He added: "The fan zone as you talk about, they are going to be very regulated environments so there will be significant constraints upon who can get in and what testing has got to be undertaken to enable that to be sustained.

"So combining that with what we do in individual localities to make sure people are taking all the necessary steps to supress the virus, I'm confident that we can achieve that.

"We can only do that if we follow the sustained approach we have taken to make sure that we keep the virus under control."
