Two more Covid-19 cases in Guernsey

Total of four on the Channel Island

A further two positive cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed in Guernsey, bringing the total there to four.

Both of these have been picked up through contact tracing of the index case, the States of Guernsey says, and have entered self-isolation for 14 days.

The government there says: "we are aware of rumour and speculation online about the origin of this cluster of cases, and where the individuals who have tested positive work or have socialised."

"Whilst we are unable to confirm any details regarding the positive cases identified, we can confirm that all necessary public health requirements have been put in place."

A statement went on to say: "there are now clear links between the four cases identified to date which is extremely helpful in seeking to track, trace and contain the spread of the virus."

It's as flights between Guernsey and the Isle of Man continue to fly between the 'air bridge', established in July, due to similarities in both Islands' approach to the pandemic, and minimal active cases.

Manx Radio has asked for comment from the Isle of Man Government and is awaiting a response.
