A ban on drinking alcohol outdoors in public in areas of Scotland under lockdown and further restrictions on takeaways are among stricter Covid-19 rules announced by Nicola Sturgeon.

Reducing which shops can offer click and collect services, strengthening the law requiring staff to work from home and closing a loophole in the stay-at-home order are among other changes, all of which will come into effect on Saturday.
