It comes after Scotland moved from Phase 0 to Phase One more than a week ago which allowed us a bit more freedom after weeks of strict lockdown.

The First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has urged caution as restrictions across the country are eased.

Face coverings could become mandatory in public places, such as a shop or on public transport.

Scottish ministers are considering implementing the measure after the Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announced it would be mandatory in England to wear a covering on public transport.
