Nightclubs will reopen across Scotland from Monday.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney has admitted it would be a “challenge” to ask people to wear face coverings on nightclub dance floors.
The SNP politician confirmed the Scottish Government will meet with the nightclub industry over the course of today to discuss how they will operate from Monday.
He told the BBC’s Good Morning Scotland that wearing face coverings in these settings would be “a bit tricky to be honest”.
The deputy first minister faced questions over the potential contradiction around allowing hundreds of people to dance in a club without face coverings but still expecting their use if queuing for a drink at a bar.
