It comes after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced that the planned end to mandatory mask wearing in some indoor settings - such as shops and public transport - had been delayed.

It was hoped that all remaining Covid-19 legal restrictions would be lifted on Monday, however, in an update to the Scottish Parliament this week, Ms Sturgeon told MSPs that mask wearing restrictions would remain in place.

This will be reviewed in two weeks time, and the First Minister hopes to end the restrictions at the beginning of April.
