Scottish business leaders have expressed disappointment at the extension of rules requiring face coverings on public transport and most indoor public settings until at least early April.
The move, announced by Nicola Sturgeon yesterday afternoon, was in response to a current spike in Covid case numbers.
However, remaining legal requirements for businesses and service providers to collect customer details for contact tracing, and to have regard to and take reasonable measures set out in Covid guidance, will end as planned on 21 March.
