Nicola Sturgeon apologises for breaching coronavirus rules by not wearing mask
Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has apologised after she was pictured breaching coronavirus rules by taking off her face mask at a funeral wake. A photograph published by the Scottish Sun shows Ms Sturgeon chatting to three women in a bar while standing at a distance but not wearing a mask.
Face coverings are mandatory when entering, exiting and moving around hospitality venues under Scottish regulations. Sturgeon was leaving the funeral when some ladies called her back over and forgot to put her face covering back on.
Ms Sturgeon said: “Last Friday, while attending a funeral wake, I had my mask off briefly. This was a stupid mistake and I’m really sorry”.
