Celebrities are being asked to lead by example and not travel to the South West while the country is in lockdown.
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall says high profile figures have the chance to influence the nation in a hugely positive way by not travelling to the region.
The public is being urged to not travel to the counties and risk spreading the new strain of the coronavirus.
This follows the prime minister's announcement of a new national lockdown in England.

"At a time when stopping the spread of this terrible virus is more important than ever, I must urge people not to make unnecessary journeys to the region," said Alison Hernandez.
She direct some comments to celebrities: "I would urge you to lead by example and together we will come through this."
However, she emphasised people fleeing domestic abuse are still able to travel.
