2 days ago we had our first new domestic #COVID19 cases in #FaroeIslands since April.
These became 14 new cases yesterday & 38 new today! Seems that the origin is from 1 person.
Almost 1600 people tested yesterday, 3% of our population in one day! This is vital to regain control.

@GollopGuern @tothevale @Govgg @GuernseyChamber @oldfarmhorace @HelenBowditch1 @Shaun_GP @gavinstpier @HeidiSoulsby @DrNicolaBrink I'd rather make sure we keep the virus out, but I quite like the idea of visiting sports playing here after 14 days quarantine

[Andrew Bell @Gsy_Bell]

@gavinstpier @HeidiSoulsby It's off the wall, but is it really all that crazy?!

[Rhoderick Matthews @RhoderickM]

It will take all of us to defeat the #covid19 pandemic. Let’s stand as one and urge world leaders to join a global pandemic response plan. #ONEWorld https://t.co/PMC7dV9qsF

[David Miliband @DMiliband]

This is important stirring of conscience for the necessary global effort to tackle this disease. If humanity is only as strong as its weakest link then we need urgent action to protect the world’s most vulnerable.

The UN Secretary General has called for an immediate #GlobalCeasefire to fight the #Coronavirus instead. I've just backed the call -- join me here & RT: https://t.co/owevEW5SR0. Please consider this petition to the UN for a Global Ceasefire - #Idlib #yemen

Love this quote from Terry Waite, ‘You aren’t stuck at home. You are safe at home’ #TerryWaite

@StoneDeCroze @Govgg @gavinstpier @DrNicolaBrink @GuernseyPress I have taken out a digital subscription and find I actually quite like reading it online. Suggest you and father-in-law do this too if you can.

[Rhoderick Matthews @RhoderickM]

@John_Le_Fondre @gavinstpier It would have been better done earlier but at least the existence of known transmission in the island should make everyone take it truly seriously. Jersey can take advantage and bring in these measures without delay. Please do.

How to effectively spread the virus around the world (in case there’s anywhere still unaffected) 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Sometimes you have to do what you don’t want to do so you can do what you want to do #StayAtHome

My brother & friends working for @NHSuk are being so brave. But they are also scared.

No one wants to be in this situation.

So Please do not be selfish #StayAtHomeSaveLives

[Rhoderick Matthews @RhoderickM]

@GaryBurgessCI @FreddieCMMiller Note the numbers within 2 metres of each other. After the emergency powers are agreed I hope they cease to meet and put Jersey in lockdown as the UK has done and Guernsey should do also.

[vanderlin @vanderlin]

Each particle stays a set distance from one another. An infected particle is introduced, infecting all those around. With time the infection fades but not fast enough if the particles are too close. We increase the separation and the virus dies. #SocialDistanacing #openframworks

[Rhoderick Matthews @RhoderickM]

@philipozouf @StatesAssembly @BBCJersey It is neither safe nor absolutely necessary for them to meet.
