The practice has been removed from updated Scottish government guidelines which was published on Wednesday.

Scottish Social Care Minister Kevin Stewart said the move was the "latest step in our path to recovering from the pandemic".

He said it came in the wake of the "phenomenal success" of the coronavirus vaccination programme.

More than 12 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines have been administered across the country.

The scheme is credited with causing a drop in infections as well as reducing the severity of illness amongst those who do catch the virus.

This was demonstrated in the latest data from the ONS Covid infection survey which estimated there were about 96,000 people infected with Covid in Scotland on any given day in the week up to 23 August.

That constitutes about one in 55 people and its lowest level in eight months.

Scotland's autumn vaccination booster programme started on Monday, with plans to give the jab to more than two million people.

Care home residents and frontline health and social care workers will be among the first to receive the booster.
