It comes as Covid-19 cases in Scotland are continuing to rise.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced last week that the planned end to legal requirements on mask wearing was being posted.

The rules were due to change to guidance today (Monday), however, she said this would instead be reviewed in two weeks.

It is hoped the legal requirements will be lifted in early April.
