The number of positive coronavirus figures in Scotland has risen by 60.
Figures from the Scottish Government revealed there have been no deaths related to the virus for the last 23 days, meaning the death toll remains unchanged at 2491.
As of today, 261 people are being treated in hospital, with three currently in intensive care.
Of those new cases 39 were recorded in NHS Grampian and 9 in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
It is not known how many of the cases recorded in NHS Grampian are in the Aberdeen area, which is currently at the centre of attention following the imposition of local lockdown restrictions after a cluster outbreak earlier this week.
The number in the cluster rose to 101 on Friday, with Nicola Sturgeon admitting she was "furious" at several Aberdeen FC players who had broken lockdown rules.
Two players tested positive for the virus, causing eight players who had visited a bar in the city to self-isolate.

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
