Those travelling on public transport should cover the mouth and nose, and acceptable coverings include a scarf or bandana.
Molly said: "I have been working from home during the lockdown but as a keen artist.
"I filled my evenings with craft projects and started making masks for friends and family.

"I couldn’t believe how many people wanted to place an order, from local businesses to people buying for their family members."
The masks come in a variety of patterns and sizes to suit all and are priced at £5.
The price covers postage, and 10 per cent of every future order will be donated to Katharine House Hospice to say thank you and give back to key workers.
Molly added: "Ordering is easy, simply email [email protected] and I can share my designs and sizing information with those who wish to place an order."
