I think the response across the board to covid has been poor, and sturgeon has made mistakes too and she will have to reckon with that when the eventual enquiry is made.
My understanding is that the airport checks issue is a Reserved matter though. The Scottish gov put in an amendment due to concerns around data quality and it took over 4 weeks for them to receive the amended memo of understanding. FM confirmed it was only received on Friday. Bear in mind the home office and UK government/home office has been very poor at informing English cities with data and clearance for them to fight covid never mind the devolved administrations. See Andy burnhams latest comments.
I'll say one thing about sturgeon she hasn't hidden in all of this and has communicated very well. The people trust her. She has clearly handled the Coronavirus crisis better than Johnson, but at the same time this is comparing Scotland to one of the worst performing countries in Europe run by a lying, amoral, racist, imbecile.
