Jersey hotels to reopen for staycations on Monday
Jersey's hotels will be able to reopen from Monday (22 February).
The government initially announced last week that restaurants would be able to start serving indoors from 22 February.
But following a meeting with the Scientific and Technical Advisory Cell (STAC), Ministers have decided to allow hotels, under strict and controlled conditions, to reopen as well.
Hotels will only open for staycations and passengers arriving on the island who need to isolate.
The hope is that more islanders will be able to return to work as a result.
Further guidance on hotels reopening is expected to be published shortly.
The Chief Minister also addressed concerns from sporting organisations in his statement.
Outdoor sports did restart today (17 February) for under-18s, with groups of up to 35 allowed to play together.
Senator John Le Fondré has also said he will assess medium risk activities in controlled settings after half term. That includes singing, indoor sport and other community activities.
Once those activities have resumed, the Chief Minister says they will look to reintroduce lower risk activities in uncontrolled settings, for example, meeting in gardens, before then looking at household mixing.
Competent Authorities Ministers have asked Public Health and STAC to look at a more detailed roadmap over the next few weeks.
An update is expected when that work is completed.
