Out of the patients who were tested in Scotland, 48,198 were confirmed negative and 12,097 were positive.
Yesterday, a further 621 people across the UK were confirmed to have died with coronavirus, bringing the nationwide total to 28,131.
The latest figures come after transport secretary Grant Shapps admitted that fewer Britons would have died from coronavirus if more tests had been available earlier.
Speaking on Andrew Marr, he said "many things" could have been different if the UK's testing capacity was above 100,000 before COVID-19 spread in the country.
He added: "The fact of the matter is this is not a country that had - although we're very big in pharmaceuticals as a country - we're not a country that had very large test capacity."
Mr Shapps also confirmed the NHSX contact tracing app will be trialled on the Isle of Wight this week before being rolled out later this month.
He said the app would need 50%-60% of people to use for it to be successful.
Meanwhile, prime minister Boris Johnson has pledged to set out a "comprehensive plan" on how to ease the lockdown on Thursday, when the government is due to review the measures.
Mr Shapps told Sky's Sophy Ridge On Sunday: "I don't think we should expect us to go from this situation that we have at the moment of social distancing back to where we were in February - that's clearly not going to happen and I don't think anyone imagines that for one moment."
