Five people have tested positive for the virus. At the moment, all of them are self-quarantining at home.
As of Tuesday, schools will only be open for children of key workers and vulnerable children. The schools are not closing on Monday, just to make sure no child is accidentally left at the school gates with nowhere to go. Parents have the option not to send their children to school on Monday.
The borders will close. Only pre-approved key workers, and people normally resident on the Island will be allowed to come onto the Island. Returning residents will need to self-isolate for 14 days, and particular measures will be required for key workers coming on to the Island.
Pubs, clubs, restaurants etc, will close at midnight tonight. Where they have the facilities, they will be able to offer delivery/collection services, provided measures are in place for social distancing.
There are to be no social gatherings, no friends over for dinner, etc.
People who do not have symptoms (and no-one in their household has symptoms) can go out for walks, as long as they maintain a distance of 2 metres from people not in their household.
