We're now on our seventh day where there have been no new cases of Covid-19 identified, and only four in the last fifteen days. There's now no one in hospital with it, and only three recovering in the community. And, all of this despite quite a number of shops re-opening, tradespeople returning to work for non-emergencies, and all sorts of other things. I was worried the lifting of the various restrictions were happening too soon, but it seems to be working.
I'm currently feeling the safest I have since all of this started. I'm sure the virus is out in the community, bubbling along, but it's at a very low level, and it doesn't seem to be a problem.
There are some discussions about adding a few categories to people who can cross the border. Currently, it's only essential workers who have received written permission from the government, and Manx residents being repatriated. The suggestions are to allow people to travel to see those who are terminally/critically ill, and to attend funerals. On return to the island, these people would be required to self-quarantine. To be honest, I'd much rather the first group of people to be allowed off, and then back on, island are those in need of medical treatment.
