Government advice says the public should consider wearing face coverings in enclosed public spaces such as shops, trains and buses to help reduce the spread of coronavirus.
Sunderland’s Director of Public Health, Gillian Gibson said: “The Government has advised that people should wear a face-covering in enclosed crowded areas, such as on public transport or in some shops, where they may come into contact with others they do not normally meet.

“Rather, they are a cloth material – such as a scarf or bandana - that covers your mouth and nose while allowing you to breathe comfortably.”
