Happier diner Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Roger Mexico said: But as I pointed out with my previous post they have been doing exactly what you have been demanding - the the extent that the Island has delivered more doses per head of population and vaccinated with one jab a very high percentage (92%). That has been at the expense of second vaccinations, but you can't use the same dose twice. It's quite clear that there is a problem with supply at the moment - the stock hasn't been added to for a week and so has dropped by the 4,000 or so given last week. There currently isn't even enough to cover the two weeks due when they restart, so hopefully some will be delivered in the next week and a half. I'm not sure that's quite right either. We have enough to do the first 2 weeks worth at least. That's some 3.5 weeks from now. Yes if no more come for weeks then you are correct. But like I keep saying...you cant do better than having them all used up and in the right place.

trmpton Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Jersey since July 431 positive travel tests from near as dam it 200,000 and none from 10,000 this weekend. How are we seeing so many more (percentage wiss)? Is it down to the actual tests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are we seeing so many more (percentage wiss)? Is it down to the actual tests? Probably because so few were traveling due to restrictions & only need a few to push up ratio of positive tests. According to ONS the estimate of positive Covid is only 1 in 1120 in England & much less in Wales so chances of catching are very low unless you visit a hotspot where chances will be a bit higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Channel Islands planned ahead and have testing at all points of entry open all day . They also intend to keep them in place. Testing at the airport? Hmmmmmmm Stop obsessing over Jersey. They've been basically locked down all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nom de plume Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Can anyone point me in the direction of the link to booking a test when returning from the UK? I was told there is now an online booking system? All I've found is this with no link: Self-isolation for travellers (gov.im) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the system actually set up & working? What the IOM Govt says and does are two entirely different things unfortunately.
