Guernsey has not had any infections of Covid 19, nor any deaths, since April - there have been 16 deaths in all. They have been maintaining strict quarantine for all arrivals. Jersey has had 32 deaths - but only one since April/May. Jersey has been admitting arrivals from the UK subject to testing on arrival & a sort of self isolation until a negative result is received - normally 2 days. Arrivals from the continent are either required to test & isolate for 5 days - from an “amber” country , or 14 days if you arrive from a “red” country. As a result, we have 15 infected cases currently, of which a half are non-symptomatic. Nearly all of these are recent arrivals from the UK. The other islands have never had any infections or deaths.
If you want to keep the virus out, Guernsey has demonstrated to the world exactly how to do it !
