Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that for the week ending March 20, the percentage of people testing positive for covid has continued to increase.
They estimate that 473,800 people in Scotland had covid which is said to equate to 9% of the population - or around one in 11 people.
Millions of people across the UK are continuing to test positive for the virus and are self-isolating as a result thanks to the latest variant - stealth omicron - with recent figures showing 3.5 million people in the UK are affected.
