A spokesman for the Scottish police said on Sunday: “We can confirm that we have received a complaint, which is currently being considered.”
Although she finally agreed to lift the final legal restrictions on Covid from Monday, Ms. Sturgeon called on the public to continue wearing masks voluntarily.
She said on Saturday that the “vast majority” of Scots would continue to follow her advice, even when they were no longer obliged to do so.
For those who break the law on face masks, the police can receive a notice of a fixed fine of £ 60, which is reduced to £ 30 if paid within 28 days.
Earlier, Ms. Sturgeon admitted that she violated her face mask rules in December 2020 when she was filmed talking to an uncovered person at a funeral.
She apologized for what she described as a “stupid mistake” and did not face police action.
Last month, she did not wear a face mask at Westminster Abbey, a memorial service for Prince Philip.
Although she had no legal obligation to wear one due to different rules in England, at the time Mrs. Sturgeon’s rules required their use in places of worship in Scotland.
