Covid in Scotland: Nicola Sturgeon defends Manchester travel ban
Scotland's first minister has defended the ban on non-essential travel with Manchester and Salford after an angry reaction from the area's mayor.
Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham accused the Scottish government of "hypocrisy" over the move.
But Nicola Sturgeon said the decision was a public health measure, based on Covid levels in the area.
Opposition politicians in Scotland said there had been a lack of consistency and a lack of consultation.
However, Ms Sturgeon - who received her second vaccination in Glasgow on Monday - said she had a "duty" to keep Scotland as safe as possible.
