    The festival, which featured Foals and Gorillaz, asked all ticket-holders aged 11 and over to demonstrate their Covid-19 status through the NHS Covid app before entering. Face masks were not compulsory but were encouraged.

    People who camped at the festival had to take a second NHS lateral flow test during the event and log their results in the app.

    Cornwall council’s public health team is urging all residents and visitors to make testing a priority.

    Honestly, who cares? People testing so much is driving the numbers up 🤦🏽‍♂️. At this point most the country has had the virus or a jab, if we can’t get on with it now then we never will
