As politicians careers go, he is one of the rare ones who is going at nearly the peak of his popularity, albeit I am not convinced that he was ever as popular as Gef would have him believe. How will the island survive without his steady hand on the tiller? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fannying around with an extra three days added of half-arsed measures that were never properly explained. Well, not to me anyway.... Only thing it doesn't make clear (unless I missed it) is what happens to those who come in with no need to isolate if their day 0 test comes back positive? Is it just a data capture exercise and they just crack on, or are they then going to have restrictions placed on them that they hadn't planned for?

Well that’s only for fully vaccinated so will be extremely rare but assume if positive they & close contact will do 10 days quarantine with 2 more tests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanxpilot Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The Daily Mail reports that the NHS App will be updated to allow it's use as a form of vaccine certification from next Monday. Perhaps useful if vaccine status were to form part of our border policy in the coming months -as it has in Jersey. https://mol.im/a/9564321 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You have to isolate for 14 days and you cannot travel. Also, you have to fill in pre-departure registration 48 hours prior to travelling. Not exactly free movement, is it? https://www.gov.je/Health/Coronavirus/Travel/Pages/CoronavirusTravelAdvice.aspx 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a risk I would take as a resident going away and coming g back (I already am this month) but not as a tourist. We are already scheduled to be no testing from end of June so hopefully they will move that forward to end of May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel details also have to be filled in worldwide, you say anything negative to avoid the fact everywhere is moving in except IOM. No doubt you will be panicking this week when easing of restrictions for Iom announced , get that tinned food in for bunker Cambon, you’ll need it 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to the individual where they set their "acceptable risk" boundaries. You can mock them all you like which is a bit silly really when individual circumstances are obviously going to vary enormously. It's the 150th Anniversary of Aida at the Areni di Verona this year.

Italy have announced they are accepting tourists from later this month as they open up museums etc. Been to Verona, can’t stand opera but the amphitheater & whole town are very impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 BA launching flights from London City & Edinburgh to Guernsey. That's in addition to all their Jersey flights. Wonder why they aren't flying here ? Does the IOM have a tourism department ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmpton Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 No cases at all for 9 days now, including all those travelling now family can visit. Loads of cars at the grandstand this morning. Level in the UK really are very low now despite the recent easing of restrictions. Vaccines work and we and the UK have now hit a point where risk is negligible. Great to see things starting to get back to normal through the UK and here. Still time to have an awesome summer of they pull their fingers out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
