There have been 1,045,226 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Scotland and 9,934 people have died following a positive test for the virus, according to the Scottish government.
This page analyses the key figures for the Covid pandemic in Scotland and was last updated using figures available at 14:00 on 9 January.
The Scottish government only publishes “headline statistics” on cases, deaths and vaccinations over the weekend. This page will be fully updated again on Monday.
Confirmed cases of Covid-19
Over the past seven days, 99,588 cases have been reported, with 7,561 cases confirmed on Sunday.
However, the Scottish government has said the reporting of some results continues to be delayed because of the larger volumes of tests being processed by labs.
The next chart shows the number of positive cases confirmed over the past 12 months and uses Public Health Scotland data.
The figures are based on the date of the test rather than when the test result was reported, which is the daily figure given out by the Scottish government.
Because of the time it takes to process the tests and submit records, the most recent figures in this chart are from five days ago.
This next chart shows how the average number of positive cases being detected each day has been changing over the last few weeks.
Deaths from Covid-19
The first coronavirus death in Scotland was reported by NHS Lothian on 13 March 2020.
The spring outbreak peaked in mid-April 2020 and then mainly declined until the summer, when Scotland went for a long period when there were no deaths following a positive test for Covid-19.
The rate of new deaths rose again in the autumn of 2020 as the second wave of the pandemic took hold, finally peaking at the end of January 2021.
Deaths from Covid have continued throughout 2021, but the vaccination programme has so far kept the number lower than previous waves, despite the higher number of cases.
The chart below shows data relating to the actual date of death, rather than registration of deaths, so the most recent figures are subject to revision.
