There are now just two people in hospital with the virus. Further updates are expected at today’s briefing – which takes places at 13:00 – where the Civil Contingencies Authority will discuss the island’s planned move to Stage 1 of its exit from lockdown strategy on Monday.

The States has increased its surveillance testing in the days before Stage 1 in order to enhance screening of essential workers in public-facing roles.

The Bailiwick has been locked down now for four weeks – since Saturday 23 January – after four cases of Covid-19 from unknown community sources were identified and the UK variant of the virus was found to have spread through the island.
