Confirmed cases of Covid-19
Over the past seven days there have been 7,574 cases detected following a test, with 1,314 confirmed on Wednesday.
The following chart shows the number of daily confirmed cases after an NHS Scotland or UK government test since 1 August, along with a seven-day average.
The actual number of people infected since February will be far higher than the overall confirmed cases figure, as many people who have Covid-19 are not tested.
Scotland's "second wave" has seen a much bigger surge in the number of cases because many more people are being tested.
How many cases are there in my area?
The weekly number of positive tests per 100,000 people in each of Scotland's 32 local authorities is now a key indicator of which Covid level a council area will be placed in.
The Scottish government works to a system of thresholds, while also considering other indicators such as hospital admissions when reviewing the levels.
The number of positive cases in each local authority is published daily by Public Health Scotland.
The most recent data often underestimates the number of positive tests as there are sometimes delays before results are recorded, so this chart uses figures from a few days ago.
