Pupils have been made to wear face masks at school in Scotland today under new regulations. Since August 11 Scottish students have been back in the classroom.

In their first few weeks back from their summer holidays pupils north of Hadrian's Wall were not required to wear face masks.

However, as of today coverings are mandatory in both Scottish and Northern Irish schools in corridors and communal areas. It is hoped that the measure will help to limit infections as large numbers of children in different classes pass each other on the way to lessons.
