First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has been advising Scots to wear a face covering while out in public or in shops for a few weeks now.
As the lockdown measures ease and more people leave home to take part in exercise or pop out for essential groceries, it’s more important than ever to protect yourself and others from Covid-19.
Aldi is now selling two-packs of reusable cotton coronavirus face masks for just £4.99 in stores - arguably, one of the cheapest packs available.
The budget supermarket's new white cotton face masks come in one size and are machine washable at temperatures of up to 95 degrees, they also feature a double layer that covers both the nose and mouth.
The two masks are available in just one size and are designed with soft elastic to hook behind the ears for easy wear.
A description on the Aldi.co.uk website states: "If you're looking for that extra peace of mind during unprecedented times, invest in this Cotton Reusable Face Covering 2 Pack.
"Made from machine washable reusable fabric, these face masks are double layered and ideal for covering both mouth and nose.
"The elastic lace makes them easy to attach behind the ears, and the cotton fabric ensures a soft and comfortable wear, so you can cover your face time and time again."
It adds: "Please note: This is a general use face covering.
"It's not a medical device or personal protective equipment. It is not intended for use in healthcare settings."
The masks have already sold out online at aldi.co.uk so you'll need to check your local store on your next essential shopping trip.
