New emergency bus routes have been implemented after the number of people using public transport has dropped heavily.
Cornwall Council and First Kernow have prioritised services which provide transport to key workers and to essential services such as supermarkets and hospitals.
The council has been working with bus operators to ensure a service can continue to be run despite passenger numbers falling to less than 10% of the normal levels.
Geoff Brown, Cabinet member for transport, said: “The focus for our public bus services is on getting key workers to work and back home again.
He said it is "not viable" to operate a full public bus network, but instead local buses "will be designed to help protect the NHS at this unprecedented time".

The police are receiving calls from people conducting "self-policing" and reporting others who are allegedly breaching the social distancing guidelines set out by the government.
Devon and Cornwall Police say over the weekend, the vast majority of people stuck to the call to stay at home - but there were some exceptions.
Chief Constable Shaun Sawyer said officers would act if they heard about shops opening or people gathering in groups.
He said: "We do get the calls off people who are frustrated seeing gatherings.
"We will respond to that, not as a blue light response but we will deal with it."
He said the force would go to the reported spot if it is "appropriate", but "assess" it alongside what else the force is dealing with at that time.
