Free badges and lanyards will be available to people in Scotland worried about the coronavirus risk from mixing with others and who would prefer extra space.
Adorned with shield logos, the badges and lanyards can be worn in public by people who are at high risk or concerned about coronavirus as a way of showing they want to be given more room or treated with added care.
The voluntary Distance Aware scheme was launched by Welsh think tank the Bevan Commission following research that found almost three quarters (73%) of people on the highest risk list said they would like to signal to others to give them extra space.
