Sewers, your county needs you!

Pembrokeshire County Council is calling for sewers to unite and join a Mask Task Force, ahead of schools returning in September.

Since July 27, face coverings have been required on public transport in Wales.

The council is now awaiting final guidance on the requirement for face coverings on Pembrokeshire school transport for children over 12years old.

A council spokesperson said: "Parents may wish to provide face coverings for their own children but we want every child to have access to a mask regardless of their ability to provide one.

"We are inviting community makers to make reusable fabric masks for Pembrokeshire school pupils.

"The reusable mask needs to be three layers and easily laundered at 60 degrees. "

This project is being supported by Pembrokeshire Association of Voluntary Services, who have been supporting community makers of PPE and supplies for health and social care staff across Pembrokeshire during Covid-19.
