Footfall across Scotland is expected to surge over the busy Easter weekend >>A leading public health expert has urged people to keep following
Covid-19 advice over the busy Easter weekend.
Prof Linda Bauld told the BBC there were still high levels of infection
due to the BA.2 Omicron variant.
She said public health advice on the virus would be around for "months
to come" despite the rule on face masks becoming guidance on Monday.
Traffic jams and rail disruption have already impacted commuters across
the UK over the long weekend.
Family gatherings, a rise in church attendance and events including the >>Musselburgh races are expected to contribute to higher social
interaction across Scotland.
Crowds will also have gathered at Hampden for the Scottish Cup
semi-finals with Hearts playing Hibs on Saturday and Celtic clashing
with Rangers on Sunday.

Earlier this week the Office for National Statistics sampling showed a >>slight decrease in the number of people testing positive for Covid-19 in >>Scotland for the third week in a row.
However, Prof Bauld said despite the encouraging figures, infection
levels were still high due to the highly transmissible BA.2 variant.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, she said: "Reinfections are increasingly
common - they're accounting for around 11% of infections certainly in >>Scotland.
"So if you're in indoor places with others you don't normally live with,
of course people may pick it up.
"They're unlikely to become severely unwell but I think in time when
we've lifted basically all the protective measures and it's down to >>people's decisions, we still just need to be aware of that."

On Thursday Public Health Scotland reported 4,196 further cases of
Covid-19 and 40 deaths of people who had tested positive.
Fewer people are becoming severely unwell with only 20 patients with
Covid requiring intensive care on Friday, although more than 2,000 >>Covid-positive patients are in hospital across Scotland.
On Monday, the legal requirement to wear face masks in many indoor
settings in Scotland will become guidance.
'Protect the clinically vulnerable'
The move had been delayed twice amid record levels of Covid cases and
high numbers of people in hospital with the virus.
Speaking about the matter to the PA news agency on Sunday, First
Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she had confidence in the "good sense and >>responsibility" of people in Scotland.
She said: "We can't keep things in law beyond a point where that is
deemed to be proportionate, so we will move the face covering
requirement out of law and into guidance.
"Wearing a face covering is a bit of protection you can give, not only
to yourself but to the people you might be around - including people who >>might be more clinically vulnerable."

Prof Bauld echoed the Scottish government's advice for people to
continue wearing masks in crowded indoor places and on public transport.
She said: "Wearing a face covering indoors even if it's not a legal >>requirement, thinking about being in well ventilated places and finally >>just making sure everyone is up to date with their vaccines before they >>travel - this is practical advice we're going to here around the country >>for some months to come.
"If you had Delta for example you might pick up Omicron, and you could >>still become quite poorly even if you don't become severely unwell."
Prof Bauld added that new hybrid variants were still being identified >>through the government's testing surveillance.
She said: "They certainly are transmissible and in fact some of them may
be a little bit more transmissible than what we've got at the moment but >>they're not causing more severe disease."

So how are you ?
