Visitors to a UK tourist hotspot have been urged to wear face masks because of a rise in Covid cases.
A huge number of people are expected to flock to the coasts over the Easter Bank Holiday.
But council chiefs have advised visitors to 'take extra care' due to a high amount of coronavirus cases circulating as more people appear around the coasts of Cornwall.
The number of people with confirmed positive cases across the area and Isles of Scilly stood at 2,335 between April 8 and April 14.
This is a decrease of 41.0% compared to the previous seven days but authorities in Cornwall say cases are still high an have asked people to be vigilant.
The sunny weather is also expected to see a rise in people going on Easter day trips over the holiday weekend.
CornwallLive reports that a Facebook post from Cornwall Council asked people to: 'do your bit' and 'stop the spread' people should "wash their hands, wear a face covering where you can and keep your distance in crowded places this Easter".
And on Twitter it urged people who were feeling unwell or had coronavirus symptoms to stay at home.
Although the Government lifted all restrictions in February 2022, the council is encouraging people to do these three things that were previously subject to rigid rules.
It said: "With Covid cases HIGH across Cornwall, we're asking everyone to take extra care this Easter and keep doing your bit to help stop the spread."
According to the Government's latest coronavirus data, between April 4 and April 10 there were 133 admissions to the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust through Covid. However, this is a decrease of 2.2% compared to the previous 7 days. As of April 12 there were 95 patients in hospital with the virus.
Responding to Cornwall Council's Facebook post people commented that they hope people used "common sense and stayed home when feeling unwell".
Others, meanwhile said the government no longer requires people to wear face coverings and socially distance which means it is not a 'legal requirement'.
The Mirror told how nurse Stuart Tuckwood hit back at claims from Tory MP Michael Fabricant that NHS staff would "go back to the staff room and have a quiet drink" after a busy shift,
He insisted this couldn't be further from the truth and the thought would never have even occurred to them especially those dealing with Covid patients.
Stuart didn't see anyone away from the hospital due to fears of catching Coronavirus and missing shifts, which would have added to the strain on the already overwhelmed hospital.
He is among a group of nurses and medical staff who told how they spent their evenings in the pandemic - and it couldn't be further from the boozy illegal parties at Downing Street.
The 32-year-old, from Liverpool, who was called back to the front line during the pandemic to help his NHS colleagues, said: "There was absolutely no way that at the end of a shift, we’d be sitting back and having a couple of beers or a cheese board with work colleagues or something.
"It was home. Change, shower, try and get some sleep."
