Laws requiring face coverings in indoor public spaces, including public transport, will officially come to an end next week.
The wearing of face masks will become "strongly recommended" guidance from April 18, the Scottish Government has confirmed, in areas including indoor crowded spaces and on public transport.
Recent data shows the infection rates of Covid-19 have improved, but there are still more than 5,000 cases a day being recorded in Scotland.
In a letter to the Presiding Officer and relevant Committee Convenors, Ministers confirmed the remaining legal requirements will be lifted as expected on 18 April.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: “In recent weeks we have seen steady progress as we move back to a greater sense of normality and a more sustainable way of managing this virus.
“However our NHS is still under pressure and the most vulnerable members of our society can still benefit from additional measures to protect them from the virus.
“That is why although the use of face coverings will become guidance rather than a legal requirement I strongly recommend members of the public continue wearing face coverings in indoor settings where possible, and particularly when significant numbers of people are present.
“We should also all continue to follow the latest advice on hygiene, ventilation, testing and of course vaccination to protect ourselves and each other.”
