The UK’s total recorded case number now stands at 347,152.
In addition, two people with Covid-19 have died, bringing the UK government's official death toll to 41,551 on Sunday.
In response to the new figures, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: "Cases rising across the UK - 2988 being reported today compared to 1813 yesterday. This reminds us again of the need to be very vigilant and comply with all the facts."
Comparisons should be made with caution because the number of tests being processed has increased since May.
