Ms Sturgeon said during the Government’s daily coronavirus briefing: “These are decisions that have not been taken lightly.”
The First Minister added while these measures are only guidance at the moment, they will be backed up by the law if not properly adhered to.
Ms Sturgeon added: “They form guidance at the moment but we will consider if necessary putting them into regulation and giving them the force of law.
“I cannot rule out if we don’t see these measures working and being effective, that we may have to go further.
