iStockScotland has recorded a further 2363 cases of coronavirus in the past 24 hours.
Figures released by the Scottish Government on Saturday also showed there was one new death connected to the virus registered on Saturday.
However, the number of deaths may be artificially low as register offices are usually closed at weekends.

Of 29,149 new tests that recorded results 8.7% were positive.
That represents a 0.6% increase in the positivity rate from the previous 24 hours.
