People in Jersey who are contact traced but have been fully vaccinated may not have to self isolate.

Instead, they could be allowed out after having a negative result from just one PCR test.

Jersey's Deputy Chief Minister, Senator Lyndon Farnham, claimed the policy was being developed in a social media post.

Senator Farnham added an announcement on the policy is due "very soon".

872 people are currently isolating after coming into contact with a positive case of Covid-19.
