10m masks stuck at Prestwick Airport in label error
The Scottish Sun originally reported that the shipment of 10 million fluid-resistant masks – 1 million of which are destined for the NHS in Wales – as well as 100,000 coronavirus testing kits was due to be collected and distributed on Friday, but has been held up because labels were placed inside the roughly 200,000 boxes, rather than outside.
The Scottish Government said the shipment had arrived three weeks before it was needed on the front line.
