Mask exemption card can now be ordered

Anyone who is exempt from wearing a mask can now get a special card from the Scottish Government.

The card aims to address the needs of those who are unable to wear a face covering for medical reasons - and want to have concrete proof if called into question when out and about.

Physical and digital cards are available to request online at www.exempt.scot or via a free helpline on 0800 121 6240.
