Coronavirus News Update

Some news that one restaurant has closed because of a Covid-19 outbreak. Clearly the time has come to assess whether some kind of two week embargo on restaurants / pubs / cafes would help as a "firebreak" to the infection. 

Also perhaps keeping mixed households to a "rule of 6" would be helpful.

Also in the news, reported below:

Officers were called to several events last night where people were meeting in large groups, COVID regulations do not allow this. With over 100 cases we must all do our bit to keep infections down.

One group of concern was about 40 teenagers from across the Island who gathered in St Martin’s between 8 and 10pm at the cafe by the Public Hall. They caused some damage, but it this type of socialising that spreads COVID. Do you know were your teens were last night, they left St Martin on the 22.10 bus back into town.

Another group of adults, about 60, felt it was OK to have a bonfire for charity.

COVID does not have a reason or excused that is acceptable. It is tough but if people do not follow the advice then numbers will increase. Its not those who attend the events that are of concern, but those to whom they hand on this virus over the next few days.

Please, everyone, play your part and follow the rules.
