Police have spoken to Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon after footage showed her with no face mask on while campaigning – days before Scotland’s Covid laws were dropped. Police Scotland have reminded the MP of the “importance of wearing a face covering when there is a legal requirement to do so," but confirmed no further action against Ms Sturgeon is necessary.
During a visit to Iconic Gents Hair barber shop in East Kilbride on Saturday, a video posted on social media showed the First Minister without a face covering.

Having received complaints about the matter, Police Scotland made contact with me. This is what they would have done with anyone else in these circumstances, and they were absolutely right to treat me no differently to any other citizen. I explained that the error was inadvertent and the police have confirmed that the matter is closed.
“While the law no longer
