The Scottish Government figures indicate a total of 24,532 tests reported results in the past 24 hours and the daily test positivity rate is 2.5 per cent, slightly down on 2.6 per cent the previous day.
So far, 3,215,770 people have received the first dose of a Covid-19 vaccination and 1,998,409 have received their second dose.
The statistics being updated are restricted to the above until June 1, when full breakdowns for the bank holiday weekend will be provided.
