Seaside holidaymakers are being urged to wear face masks ahead of an anticipated boom in the number of visitors to Cornwall over the Easter holidays. Council has advised people to 'take extra care' due to a high amount of Covid cases.
More than 2,300 people tested positive for Covid across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly between April 8 and April 14, Cornwall Live reports. While that represents a decrease of 41.0% compared to the previous seven days, the council says cases are still high and has asked people to be vigilant.
A Facebook post from the council today (Friday, April 15) said to help 'do your bit' and 'stop the spread' people should "wash their hands, wear a face covering where they can and keep their distance in crowded places this Easter". And on Twitter, the authority urged people who were feeling unwell or had coronavirus symptoms to stay at home.
