COVID-19 Post-Emergency Strategy

24 February 2022

It has been over two years since Jersey reported its first case of COVID-19. Over the past two years, the Government of Jersey has responded quickly to an unprecedented and continually evolving virus which posed a threat to our way of life, the mental and physical health of Islanders, and the continuity of businesses and critical services. We have worked closely with Islanders and businesses to safeguard our collective public health and protect livelihoods.

The strong position the Island is now in is due to the high uptake of vaccination in the Island, and the reduced risk posed by the current dominant variant, Omicron. This has led to a shift from Government led measures towards a personal approach from Islanders to manage and assess their own health and risks.

This strategy update is intended to comprise the period from March to June 2022, although many aspects of the strategy are intended to be more enduring. As before, COVID-19 strategy updates will be issued if and when there is significant change in disease context and government policy.
