The Scottish Government has issued guidance on the personal use of face coverings during the coronavirus pandemic.
They recommend people wear a face covering if they are “in an enclosed space where social distancing is difficult”.
For example when travelling on public transport or entering a shop where it is harder to maintain a two-metre distance from another customer.
