Scottish vaccination figures now stand at 3,497,287 people having received their first dose of a covid vaccine and 2,425,825 people having received their second dose.
These figures come as we reported that football fans attending the Euro 2020 fanzone at Glasgow Green will be sent rapid lateral flow covid test kits by post.
A mobile testing bus is also now stationed at the outdoor viewing space to provide on-site lateral flow testing.
These arrangements were confirmed today by Health Secretary Humza Yousaf.
The move is part of a series of measures to help reduce the risk of transmission before and after the event.
