From midnight tonight, a number of restrictions will be relaxed further.

People will be able to meet outside in groups of 20, restaurants can open indoor areas, hairdressers can open and sports facilities can welcome people back.

Islanders who are at moderate risk due to the virus can now go back to work, and hotels can also open now to offer staycation options.

The government is currently on track to move to even more relaxed conditions at the beginning of July, however Chief Minister John Le Fondré warned that won’t happen if rules are ignored and the number of cases rise.

There are currently five known cases of Covid-19.

Senator Le Fondré said: ‘Level 2 is about being safer together.

‘And I would ask that everyone, whether working in a business or as a member of the public, continues to follow the health guidance – meaning we can progress steadily towards Level 1 and the ‘new normal’.

‘No one wants to return to Level 4. Increasing restrictions again will impact people’s mental and physical health, their livelihoods, and our community.’
