Sturgeon said: “In recent weeks we have seen steady progress as we return to a greater sense of normalcy 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 themselves from the virus. “Therefore, although the use of face masks will be a guide and not a legal requirement, I strongly recommend members of the public to continue to wear face masks indoors where possible, and especially when there is a significant number of people. “We should also all continue to follow the latest hygiene, ventilation, testing and of course vaccination tips to protect ourselves and each other.” To subscribe to the Daily Record Politics newsletter, click here.
