I just hope if (when) we start getting cases, they don't succumb to the inevitable calls for retrograde steps. Keep an eye on the CIs. 70 active cases so far, and they have not started 2+2 yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK still has social distancing/mask wearing where they feel it’s appropriate, while we try and pretend it’s 2019 as soon as a lockdown is lifted.

snowman Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) The piece by gef mentions the NHS app: "For those who are coming to the island from the UK, they will need to provide documentation from their GP or other forms of confirmation such as the NHS App. The Manx Gov has told Gef plans are being put into action to ensure Manx residents will also have the required documentation in time for the change to take effect." I'm reading that as it will be available from the 28th Edited June 15, 2021 by snowman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is only just beginning. Most cases are in Jersey where it is firmly in the community. As of Monday just gone (I think) they dropped masks and social distancing. Not sure about Guernseys situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of the blue Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 As someone who is about to get my second dose and wants to travel to the UK without restriction it is welcome news, however I have children, so unfortunately it will not make that much difference to me or other families with young children. Whilst I understand the reasoning behind the new rules, it makes me uncomfortable that we are creating divisions amoungst our travelling population within our common travel area. It is pragmatic, but also smacks of coercion. By all means persuade through adverts and messaging, but to create a sub group whether it be children, younger yet to be vaccinated people or frankly people that do not want the vaccine, leaves me cold. I hope that this situation only lasts until August when everyone can hopefully travel equally without restrictions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that means it will be available from the 28th or not. Unclear As soon as I have had my second jab I will be on to my GP for a certificate.

snowman Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I think children will be exempt if parents are vaccinated. Tbc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially here, assuming we will still have no social distancing, no restrictions on gatherings and no mask wearing whatsoever, it makes us stand out from the rest of the UK, it must be very odd for an island resident currently to go from no restrictions here to the UK which still has some odd restrictions in place (only 6 per table at a wedding for example, 30 max guests, no dance floors although bizarrely private venues are allowed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 If i was running the show in the uk i'd let this variant rip through the crown dependancies, all with slightly different measures and differring levels of vaccination. Get some real data in a controllable to an extent environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cases, people who are actually ill? 48 active cases in Jersey today. That isn't 48 people who are ill is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
