Updated 17 June
Ministers have decided to pause entering into the final stages of the reconnection roadmap for a further two weeks until Monday 5 July, at the earliest. This is due to the increased number of cases in the United Kingdom and on-Island, to give time to monitor the situation and safely enter the final stage of our phased reconnection.
Until that time, nightclubs will remain closed, except when operating as food and drink premises, stand-up drinking cannot resume and a maximum limit of 20 people in homes and gardens remains in place, except for weddings.
Ministers will continue to review the position in light of Jersey's vaccination rate and active COVID-19 cases, and will announce any revised guidance on Thursday 1 July.
Key public health messages
follow the physical distancing rules
wear a mask
wash your hands regularly
keep your gathering numbers small and with the same people and follow the current advice for gatherings
The Island's vaccination programme is rolling out at pace but that does not mean that Islanders are immune to the threat of COVID-19. We must still protect those who are vulnerable and those who are not vaccinated.
