Black Mirror Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 On 3/4/2021 at 12:14 PM, Roxanne said: It's centring around the customers and staff who were in the Bridge on Saturday night - the Bridge and the Queens, for reasons best known to themselves stayed open on Saturday night and two people from the Bridge have tested positive. 111 has given the advice to all that there is no need to isolate and only ring for a test if symptoms develop. The quote from them was, "You are free to go about your daily business within the confines of the current lockdown". That news caused some consternation about asymptomatic customers going shopping etc. Now, Manx Radio have put out a statement saying all Bridge customers from Saturday night should immediately isolate. No one knows where this has come from and many are quoting 111 as 'the experts' and they don't have to isolate or have a test while others are insisting that they do. Can't you just disconnect your landline? So that 111 cannot reach you and serve the "direction notice" to "isolate". If you haven't been told, it won't be illegal to be out and about all day, which has been my normal state of affairs lately; lockdown or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham_N_Eggs Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Pinched the below information from someone on Twitter but thought it was quite interesting because they keep going on about the ECDC definitions of Covid but I wonder if Ewart has actually read the notes section: https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/covid-19/surveillance/case-definition "Notes: [1] Additional less specific symptoms may include headache, chills, muscle pain, fatigue, vomiting and/or diarrhoea."

Without reading beyond the above, I reckon it's more than one person, hence the unknown unknowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those sort of numbers aren’t going to scare many people really. No doubt you’ll be praying for a much bigger number tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
