Council of Ministers meeting to review Covid-19 situation

Two possible cases found over weekend

The Council of Ministers is meeting this morning to review the Island's Covid-19 response.

On Saturday, government announced it had found two 'possible' cases of the Omicron variant of Covid-19.

Confirmation is being sought from the UK, and could take up to 10 days.

Health Minister Lawrie Hooper says the turnaround is satisfactory, but questions need to be asked about bringing the service onto the Island:

As it stands, face coverings are mandatory on public transport and in healthcare settings - they're also expected in shops and other public spaces.
