Scotland's health secretary, Humza Yousaf, has said rising covid infections are "concerning" as he urged Scots to not let their guard down against the virus.
There were 11,957 newly recorded coronavirus cases within the past 24 hours, Government figures published on Wednesday showed, which is the highest since January 11 when 12,604 were reported.
Mr Yousaf said that the "recently rising Covid-19 case numbers are concerning and a reminder that Covid is still with us".
