Scotland's mandatory face covering rules will now remain in force until
18 April, Nicola Sturgeon has announced.
The legal requirement to wear masks in shops and on public transport had
been expected to be lifted next week.
But the first minister told MSPs that the changes would now not take
effect until 18 April.
She said this was due to there still being a very high level of
infection in Scotland, and because masks provide extra protection.
However, the requirement to wear a face covering in places of worship
and while attending marriage and funeral services will end on 4 April.
Ms Sturgeon said this phased approach struck a "sensible balance between
our desire to remove this one remaining legal measure and the common
sense need for continued caution".
Live: Nicola Sturgeon updates MSPs on Covid plans
Case numbers have hit record levels in Scotland in recent weeks, with
one in 11 people estimated to have had the virus in the week to 20 March.
Both Deputy First Minister John Swinney and Justice Secretary Keith
Brown tested positive on Wednesday morning, just hours before Ms
Sturgeon made her announcement.
Ms Sturgeon said the daily figures remained high but were "perhaps >stabilising", with a 15% fall from about 12,000 cases to 10,200 over the
past week.
She said there was therefore "grounds for optimism that this latest wave
of infection may now have peaked".
However she said the high levels of infection and the pressure it was
placing on the NHS meant the planned lifting of the law on face
coverings would be delayed until 18 April.
She told MSPs that this would be a "proportionate precautionary measure
while we pass the peak of this latest wave".
This is the second time the first minister has delayed lifting the face
mask laws, which had originally been due to be removed on 21 March.
All of Scotland's other legal restrictions have already been phased out.

the latest wave
Dr Christine Tait-Burkard, a leading infections expert at University of >Edinburgh, told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland that cotton masks
offered "much less protection" from the BA.2 subvariant because far
fewer virus particles needed to be inhaled to catch it.
She said: "The surgical and cotton masks just allow for a little more of
the virus to get through. They are still very good for people who are
lower risk - they stop them shedding a lot of virus into the environment.
"For people who are more vulnerable it is probably the moment to
increase to an FFP2 mask just until the pressure in the environment from
so many people infected actually decreases."
Dr Tait-Burkard said she did not believe legal enforcement of face masks
was needed any more, and that recommending people wear them in high risk >environments was the right thing to do.
'Bitterly disappointing'
The mask laws will now be phased out, with the requirement to wear them
in places of worship and at services to be dropped on 4 April.
Ms Sturgeon was pictured without a mask at a memorial service for Prince >Philip on Tuesday, but insisted that she wore one on the train and
"abided by the rules" while in England.
The Scottish Licensed Trade Association said it would have set a better >example for the first minister to wear a face covering, adding that it
was "bitterly disappointing" the changes had been delayed in Scotland.
Managing director Colin Wilkinson said the pause would ultimately make
little difference as "the lack of use of face coverings is already
clearly evident in many settings".
And the Scottish Chambers of Commerce said the "prolonging of Covid-19
rules" might make Scotland a less attractive tourist destination.
How have infection rates changed recently in Scotland? Seven-day average
to 30 March. Showing cases by date of test. Includes PCR and LFT results. >Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross said Scotland's case rate
being higher than other parts of the UK showed that the first minister's >"strategy is clearly failing".
He said: "She is keeping restrictions in place here in Scotland weeks
after they have been removed elsewhere.
"We believe that anyone who wants to keep wearing a face mask should do
so, but it should be down to individual choice as it is in other parts
of the UK.
"We should leave it up to people and businesses to decide what is best
for them based on public health advice - Nicola Sturgeon has to start >trusting the people of Scotland."
Ms Sturgeon accused the Tory leader of being "seriously out of step with
the vast majority of people".
She said: "Particularly in public places where people don't always have
a choice about being, people have to go to shops and therefore if we all
wear face coverings in shops right now we help protect each other.
"For a couple of weeks more while we see this wave of infection peak and >start to fall I think that is a sensible thing to do."
The testing system is also being wound down in Scotland, with the >population-wide contact tracing system to be shut down by the end of April.
Scottish Labour's deputy leader Jackie Baillie said infection levels
were concerning, calling for more details about future support and
testing for vulnerable people.
She said: "While life is returning to near normality for many, that is
not the case for those who are immunocompromised and the 180,000 who
were on the shielding list."
Ms Sturgeon said vulnerable people were being offered extra booster
jabs, and that testing would continue to be used in a targeted way to
support them.

DR HILARY WARNS OF 'TWINDEMIC' OF COVID AND FLU THIS WINTER
A new strain of Covid thought to be even more contagious has been
spotted all over Europe, and experts fear it will continue to spread.
The variant BF.7 has been dubbed the 'Omicron spawn' by scientists, who
have warned that it could become dominant in the next few weeks.
And a top immunologist has warned the upcoming World Cup could make
cases surge, similar to how Delta cases spiked during the Euros last summer.

Professor Denis Kinane, a world-leading immunologist and Founding
Scientist at Cignpost Diagnostics, told the Mirror : "It is hard to
predict when we will see a peak in cases as we do not yet know the full
extent to what is coming this autumn and winter.
"However, with events like the football World Cup taking place in
November, it is likely that the increase in international social
gatherings will lead to an increase in the spread of mutations cases –
similar to the effect of the Euros."

during the Euros last year

The World Cup is being hosted in Qatar this year, and will take place
across November and December to combat the soaring desert temperatures.
This means football fans in the UK will be watching their countries play >>> as temperatures begin to drop and the days become shorter.

It's not clear how many cases of BF.7 have been found in the UK because
of a lack of regular testing. However, Belgium has seen the most cases
of the variant so far.
Prof Kinane added: "This new Covid variant spreading quickly in several
countries – it already accounts for 25 per cent of cases in Belgium."
He continued: "Like all new variants, BF.7 only exists as it is more
contagious than existing variants and will also be more effective in
overcoming immune resistance, whether it is natural through prior
infection or artificially via vaccination."
What are the symptoms of the new variant?
Change or loss of smell or taste is still a common symptom

The new strain's symptoms are similar to that of the original virus, so
you should still be mindful if you have the following:
High temperature
New, continuous cough
Aching body
Sore throat
Change to sense of smell or taste
Loss of appetite
Prof Kinane also urged those to get their Autumn booster vaccine, if
they can.
He said: "I would encourage those who are eligible for the Autumn Covid
booster jab to take it up at the earliest possibility, and for those not >>> eligible at present to remain cautious as to the impact that Covid can have.
"With immunity waning over time, it is vital that if a further
vaccination dose is offered, uptake should be swift and across the board >>> for maximum protection.
"The virus has not disappeared and will continue to mutate. Without the
lack of a baseline surveillance system and the absence of a testing
framework, we have very limited visibility on the virus’ mutation.
"As a result, it is difficult to quickly bring in public health measures >>> to counter the virus’ constantly mutating nature. Testing is the best
way to study the virus’ behaviour and it is crucial that we retain our
ability to increase testing."
There are around three million unvaccinated people in the UK, with
millions of others not yet eligible for the booster.
And although the vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting Covid, it
reduces the risk of hospitalisation.
Prof Kinane also said the scrapping of universal free testing means a
large section of the population will be unaware they have the virus and
we need to remain vigilant to prevent a Winter surge.

He said: "Despite what many think, Covid-19 is still a dangerous and
highly infectious disease.
"Given this, it is important that we remain vigilant and cautious. No
one wants to see a return of lockdowns and restrictions.

"But with three million people in the UK remaining unvaccinated, and the >>> virus still being a severe threat to vulnerable groups and the

Prof Kinane urges people to use face masks in enclosed spaces, including >>> at mass events, and to get tested if we think we are infected.
