Bus drivers in Scotland are worried they should be wearing personal protective equipment during the coronavirus crisis.

Dougie Maguire, regional co-ordinating officer for the Unite union in Scotland, said drivers are also concerned that interior touch points on buses are not being cleaned "as rigorously or as regularly as possible".

"Some drivers do want to be in masks and would like to wear gloves, but Stagecoach have said that isn’t acceptable," Mr Maguire told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme.

Mr Maguire said some buses have only been retro-fitted as late as Wednesday this week, with holes in the safety screens separating drivers and passengers sealed up to help avoid the spread of the virus.

Stagecoach have been approached for comment.

Highlands and Islands Green MSP John Finnie has urged visitors to stay away from one of Scotland's traditional tourist areas until the coronavirus crisis is over.

It is thought some people headed to the southern parts of the Highlands for the duration of the lockdown period, ignoring official advice.

Finnie believes the decision of Scotland's former chief medical officer Dr Catherine Calderwood to travel to her second home, which ultimately forced her to resign,undermined efforts to persuade people to stay at home.

"I don't think any of us could under-estimate the damage that took place last weekend," he told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme. "Many people have been in touch saying 'So the rules only apply to us, they don't apply to others'.

"It is important that everyone leads by example. I see neighbours around me all complying with the rules. People look to leadership."

Now she is living in the midst of a virus pandemic but says coping with her baby is "the best feeling ever".

Although, with its long lances, it might seem like a pursuit made for these days of social-distancing, the team have been badly affected by the coronavirus outbreak.

For the third week in a row, people across the UK - and beyond - have shown their appreciation for the NHS.
