An Inverness councillor is pleading with people to stop littering the city with used items of PPE.
Isabelle MacKenzie, who represents the Inverness Millburn ward, spoke out after being contacted by constituents concerned about face masks and gloves being discarded in the area around Raigmore Hospital.
She said improperly disposing of such items increased the risk of infection.
âThe public need to be more aware of health issues â we all need to be extremely careful when we are out and about,â she said.
