Face masks in Scottish shops mandatory from July 10

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has today confirmed that shoppers will be required to wear face masks from July 10.

Last week, we reported that retailers Scotland were being asked to display a poster at their entrance requesting shoppers to wear face coverings.

However, wearing face masks in shops has now been made mandatory.
