Face coverings have been made mandatory once again on Guernsey buses after a rise in Covid infections.

Operator CT Plus says it is to protect employees and passengers and minimise disruption to services after some staff tested positive.

A spokesperson for CT Plus said: "We wish all the staff currently affected with Covid a speedy recovery and thank passengers for their understanding and support at this challenging time."

The move has been backed by Guernsey's Traffic and Highway Services department.

There are currently 1,527 known active Covid cases in the Bailiwick and five people in hospital have the virus.
