School prom cancelled at last minute due to Covid-19 in Jersey
A school prom had to be cancelled with just hours to go last night (15 June) due to Covid-19. The event, organised by parents, was due to be held at the Royal Yacht Hotel for Year 11 students leaving Le Rocquier School.
But it was called off when around ten students were contact traced, having previously been in contact with an individual who had tested positive.
It is still unclear whether the organisers made this call, or the venue.
Jersey registered 47 cases of coronavirus yesterday, up from 17 a week ago. Whilst the majority of people in the most vulnerable categories have been fully vaccinated, many younger islanders have not - leading to more cases in their age categories.
