There is new non-mandatory advice for Scots to wear face masks in shops and other places where social distancing is more difficult.

Announcing the new guidance, Nicola Sturgeon said the scientific advice was that there was some benefits to such coverings.

Masks are most helpful at stopping asymptomatic people from spreading COVID-19.

However, she stressed it should be coverings made from cloth, rather than medical grade masks.
