You will be able to go outside for exercise once a day. But we will not limit how long for. But it can only be with people from your household. We would ask you to do your best to avoid any crowded area. And you must wear a face covering. From 00:01 on Thursday 07 January 2021 wearing a face covering will be mandatory on public transport, and strongly recommended when in public places.

piebaps Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 It didn't really Lightbulb. We were always going to see it back. Even if we get rid of it again, it'll be back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piebaps Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Well, I guess we'll need to see the actual law when its published. I know I'll be wearing a face covering as opposed to a fortnight in jetski mansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s such a massive concern over 12 cases surely all face to face should stop or is the lockdown OTT? The issue is, with no measures in place, that 12 quickly becomes almost 48. R was 4 in the UK before lockdown. Lockdowns with schools shut quickly bring it below 1, the infection can't sustain itself, and 3 weeks should be long enough that it can't take root in the community, if it's nipped in the bud now. Otherwise you need months of protracted lockdowns whilst it slowly fizzles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly convinced (which admittedly is based on sniff-test) that a long, drawn-out semi-lockdown is far worse than a short sharp one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole section about when to wear a mask carries more weight (in my mind anyway) than that single addendum in the general statement. Wear one in public places, but if you are off piste far from anyone else, just have one ready to put on for that chance encounter with another human. Common sense. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General rules in other countries I experienced earlier this year was: Indoors with other people? Mask. Outdoors in busier places? Mask. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcousticallyChallenged Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I think one benefit the island has now, is that most of us know the value in sticking to the rules for the sake of a short time will enable us to have freedoms that can go again in an instant. That and little Doris writing down every car's number at the end of the road, just in case you know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
