"In addition, all the cases currently under investigation are travel-related - we have not seen any further person to person transmission.
"The risk to public health in Scotland remains low but it is right that everyone remains vigilant as we work to disrupt the spread of the virus."
The 12 possible cases are in the following health board areas:
