EDINBURGH: Police have warned they will take “robust action” against anyone who coughs on people while claiming to have coronavirus to frighten them.

Officers said they are aware of a number of incidents where people have deliberately coughed, or threatened to cough, on elderly or vulnerable people after suggesting they are infected with Covid-19.
