FIRST MINISTER Nicola Sturgeon has announced a change to coronavirus contact tracing.
It comes as Scotland moves from Level 4 to Level 3 of coronavirus restrictions on Monday.
As pubs, restaurants and cafes will reopen, all customers sitting at one table will be obliged to give their contact details to staff as opposed to only the lead member of each household.
