Jersey's Deputy Medical Officer of Health is urging islanders to "keep their guard up".

Dr Ivan Muscat says it is vital that we continue to follow public health guidelines - including avoiding household mixing - even though some restrictions are easing.

Despite a fall in the overall figures, new cases are still being recorded everyday, which means the virus continues to spread within the community.

He also says we can expect numbers to increase in the coming weeks, as hospitality venues reopen.
