As we move into Phase 5c, the classification of countries and the corresponding periods for self-isolation and testing has changed. The Categories of most relevance at this present time are Categories 3 and 4.

Category 3 relates to areas who have between 30 and 100 cases of coronavirus per 100,000 of population for 7 consecutive days.  People from Category 3 areas will be required to have a test upon arrival into Guernsey with a further test on day 7 following arrival.  Self-isolation is mandatory until the results of the day 7 test is known to be negative.  Enhanced passive follow up is required until day 14.

Category 4 relates to areas who have more than 100 cases of coronavirus per 100,000 of population for 7 consecutive days.  People from Category 4 areas will be required to have a test upon arrival into Guernsey followed by a mandatory period of isolation for 14 days.

Further Update – 30 October 2020

There is very limited self-isolation accommodation available on Sark at this present time.  It is therefore advisable for anyone wishing to travel to Sark from outside the Bailiwick to self-isolate in Guernsey.

Travel arrangements must be made in advance with Sark’s Pandemic Emergency Committee.  You cannot travel to Sark unless you have an address to go to.  For further information please telephone the Chief Secretary Zannette Bougourd on 01481 832118.
