About the Scientific and Technical Advisory Cell (STAC) and meeting minutes

​About STAC

As part of the de-escalation of the COVID-19 emergency response, Competent Authority Ministers have asked the Scientific and Technical Advisory Cell (STAC) to discontinue, but remain on standby should there be a need to reinstate COVID-19 emergency decision making.

The role of STAC is to provide a common source of health, scientific and technical advice to Government and Gold Commanders during emergencies. It debates live issues and ensures that advice is provided in a timely and co-ordinated way, based on best available information.

This helps ensure that decisions made during emergencies are informed by health, scientific and technical advice.

Code of practice

Code of Practice for STAC (as endorsed by STAC on 06 December 2021)

COVID-19

The STAC carefully considers the available evidence throughout the pandemic to minimise harms and seek to ensure a safe exit. COVID-19 cases in Jersey are being closely monitored, both in terms of total numbers and the nature of the cases (who is affected, symptoms and experience).

In addition, evidence on wider harms to the population of the pandemic, and the public health measures over the short, medium and long term are also considered. Decision makers assess a range of advice and evidence presented to them, including that from STAC, combined with their own experience and judgement to make decisions during emergencies.
