Nearly all Guernsey lockdown restrictions will be lifted today (22 March).

The Civil Contingencies Authority has agreed that Guernsey will move to Stage 3 of its exit from lockdown.

What will change in stage three?All travel is open within the Bailiwick and non-essential travel will be allowed. However, all visitors to the islands from outside the Bailiwick will still have to quarantine for 14 days and be tested on days 1 and 13.

All pubs and clubs will open with no restrictions on food and drinks and all team sports can re-start.

Islanders will no longer have to socially distance or have household bubbles.

Face masks will not be mandatory but you are advised to wear one in crowds or close spaces. Anyone attending the Princess Elizabeth Hospital will be required to wear a mask.

Organisers of events involving more than 100 people should keep a record of the names and phone numbers of those in attendance. It is expected this guidance will remain in place until the end of April.

Bus routes in Guernsey will also be back to full service today.

Guernsey has seen no new cases for 23 days and there is one active case, a patient being treated at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital.
