Statement from the Chief Minister

“I am aware that there are rumours circulating that the Government is planning to announce a lockdown starting on 23 November. I would like make it entirely clear that these rumours are untrue, and unfounded. 

“Ministers are meeting today to discuss further measures to tackle the increase in COVID-19 cases over the past few weeks. These measures will focus on us working as a community to slow the spread. We will be making an announcement on this in due course, once we have details agreed and following discussion with States Members."
