It was the Government that put the brakes on tourism in Cornwall and Scilly and it will be the Government that decides when to allow holiday-makers to visit again.

At the time of writing 13 cases of coronavirus had been confirmed across Cornwall and Devon in the past week - individuals diagnosed with the disease as a result of a lab-confirmed test.

A speech from the PM made 29th May 2020. 

Good evening,

Before I set out our next steps in the fight against the coronavirus, let me update you on the latest data:

All eyes may appear to be on the coronavirus outbreak but life after this crisis needs to be very different to what we had become accustomed to.

A brain tumour diagnosis is a devastating event in any family and, if you have experienced this, you will know how important it is to find a cure and to find the very best model of care.

Government must step in and fund brain tumour research! A brain tumour diagnosis is a devastating event in any family and, if you have experienced this, you will know how important it is to find a cure and to find the very best model of care.

The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee (of which I am a member) continues to take evidence of the availability of food to consumers during the lockdown (Friday and yesterday).

Boris Johnson’s speech on Sunday set out a future timeline for easing lockdown measures. We are encouraged to go to work if you can with social distancing and exercise more than once a day. The fundamentals haven't changed - the reasons for leaving home remain the same.

MP Derek Thomas has welcomed new Government guidelines which mean that people will be able to travel further for exercise and fresh air (while socially distancing) but which prevent the possible influx of visitors to West Cornwall.

The public is advised to consider wearing face coverings in enclosed public spaces such as shops, trains and buses to help reduce the spread of coronavirus.
