Nicola Sturgeon has been spoken to by police after footage showed her with no face mask on while campaigning – days before Scotland’s Covid laws were dropped.

Police Scotland have reminded Scotland’s first minister of the “importance of wearing a face covering when there is a legal requirement to do so”.
