WELL GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE
THANKS FOR TUNING IN
ASHY ON THE RETURN OF THE HEALTH SERVICE
THEATRES BACK TO NORMAL
ENDOSCOPY BACK UP TO PREVIOUS LEVELS
WINTER PLANNING COMPLETE
DRAWING UP WAITING LIST INITIATIVES
FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS SOON – HOPE TO BRING LISTS DOWN
UPDATE
THE ISLAND HAS SEEN 5 NEW CASES, ALL IN SELF ISO SO COMMUNITY REMAINS FREE
I KNOW IT’S CAUSED CONCERN
UK STILL GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
HIGH OF 7K IN THE UK HAS DOUBLED TO 14.5K DIAGNOSED ON TUESDAY
NICOLA (SNP) ANNOUNCED TOUGHER RESTRICTIONS IN SCOTLAND – PUBS ARE CLOSING
BORIS EXPECTED TO DO THE SAME SOON
NO SURPRISE TO TELL YOU THAT WE REMAIN AT LEVEL 4 FOR BORDERS. NOT THE TIME TO LOOSEN RESTRICTIONS
ON BALANCE WE’VE DECIDED THAT STRICTER MEASURES ARE REQUIRED TO PROTECT THE ISLAND
TEST ON DAY 7 OF ISO WILL BE WITHDRAWN FROM THIS SUNDAY
RESIDENTS RETURNING FROM MONDAY WILL BE REQUIRED TO SELF ISO FOR 14 DAYS (GOLD STANDARD)
IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED A 7 DAY NEGATIVE TEST YOU WON’T BE AFFECTED (WORK AND EXERCISE ONLY)
COMIN CAREFULLY EXAMINES THE BALANCE OF RISK, TRYING TO THE BEST
REMAINING AT LEVEL AND RETURNING TO ‘GOLD STANDARD’ 14 DAY ISO WILL TIGHTEN THINGS UP
WE MUST REMAIN VIGILANT TO PROTECT THE MANX BUBBLE WHICH WAS HARD WON
A REMINDER FOR KEY WORKERS
IF YOU HAVE TRAVELLED TO THE IOM FROM THE UK – GO STRAIGHT TO WHEREVER YOU’RE STAYING
NO STOPPING FOR PETROL, SAUSAGE ROLLS OR ALCOHOL
KEY WORKERS SHOULD USE PPE AND SOCIALLY DISTANCE
WHEN NOT KEY WORKING, YOU SHOULD BE IN SELF ISO
RULES ARE CLEAR WHEN PEOPLE ARRIVE IN RED BOLD LETTERING
BUT WE WANT TO DO ALL WE CAN TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE RULES
MORE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ROLLED OUT TO DRILL THE MESSAGE HOME AT THE PORTS
ONBOARD TANNOY REMINDERS ARE IN PLACE IN BOAT AND PLANE
ON TUESDAY I DID A SPOT CHECK AT THE SEA TERMINAL AND WAS SATISFIED. EVERYONE WAS SPOKEN TO BY THE BORDER TEAM
NEW MEASURES SHOULD EXPRESS SERIOUSNESS
BREACHES DISAPPOINTING = COMIN LOOKING INTO IT FURTHER
VISITING KEY WORKERS COME FOR A REASON. MANY ASPECTS OF ISLAND LIFE RELY ON KEY WORKERS. MOST OF THEM FOLLOW THE RULES
TODAY I HAVE A CLEAR MESSAGE
BE PREPARED
WE NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR THE RETURN OF THE VIRUS
SOCIAL DISTANCING, PROTECTING VULNERABLE.
GOOD JOB SO FAR, THANKS TO YOU THE GREAT MANX PUBLIC
I HOPE WE CONTINUE TO SUCCESS
HOWEVER, GOV ARE READY & HOPE YOU ARE TOO
QUESTIONS
SIMON. IS A TEENAGE APPRENTICE A KEY WORKER?
IT IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE PROCEDURE, APPRENTICE WAS PART OF THE TEAM
THERMITE POWDER, OUTSIDE OF ORDINARY WELDING. NO ONE ON ISLAND CAN UNDERTAKE THE WORK
1229 KEY WORKERS SINCE MARCH, MOST HEALTH WORKERS. MOST STUCK TO THE RULES, SO LET’S NOT TAR THEM ALL WITH THE SAME BRUSH
HAS ANYONE POSITIVE REQUIRED HOSPITAL TREATMENT?
NO ONE ISOLATING WITH C-19 HAS REQUIRED HOSPITAL TREATMENT
AL BELL. COULD THE RAILWAY WORK NOT HAVE WAITED UNTIL AFTER SELF ISO COMPLETE?
WORKERS WON’T BE PREPARED TO COME OVER TO DO THE JOB. IF THERE IS A WAY TO IMPROVE THE METHODOLOGY THEN WE WILL
PUBLICITY OF RECENT CASES SHOULD FOCUS THE MINDS OF OTHERS
IS THE RAILWAY REALLY CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE?
IT’S A DECISION FOR BAKER. GUERNSEY HAVE ENJOYED THE RAILWAYS.
TIM GLOVER. 7 DAY TEST WAS PICKING UP CASES. ANY THOUGHT OF 12 OR 14 DAY TESTS FOR KEY WORKERS?
MEDICAL KEY WORKERS ARE TESTED ANYWAY
7 DAY TEST WAS COOL WHEN THE UK CASES WERE LOWER. RISK OF LETTING PEOPLE CIRCULATE WHILE UK CASES ARE HIGH IS A RISK.
JERSEY ARE DOING A U-TURN ON THEIR FREE TEST. THEY MIGHT COPY OUR RESTRICTIONS
STUDENTS COMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, WILL YOU PUT THEM IN A HOTEL?
THEY WILL HAVE TO ISOLATE FOR 14 DAYS. WHILE THEY ARE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. THEY HAVE BEEN LIVING IN THE UK, SAME RISK LEVEL AS ANYONE LIVING IN THE UK.
COMMITTED TO GETTING YOUNG PEOPLE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS. WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THE SITUATION WILL BE IN THE UK. THINGS MAY CHANGE AS A RESULT.
LEANNE – COULD A SMALL CONVENIENCE STORE BE IMPLEMENTED AT THE AIRPORT OR SEA TERMINAL?
PART OF OUR REVIEW. GOOD BOSSES OF KEY WORKERS ARE STOCKING THE FRIDGES AND DELIVERIES. EMPLOYERS ARE SPONSORING THE WORKER, SO THEY SHOULD PROVIDE THEM WITH ALL THEY NEED.
SAM – WAS THE WELDING REALLY CRITICAL. HAS THE WELDING WORK BEEN COMPLETED?
I’LL GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT
MORE UPDATES ON THE KEY WORKERS NEXT WEEK.
STUDENTS, WILL THEY GET FINANCIAL SUPPORT IF THEY CAN’T WORK OVER CHRISTMAS?
CAN LOOK INTO IT, INITIAL REACTION IS NOT. LOW-INCOME STUDENTS CAN APPLY FOR BENEFITS.
EXCEPTIONAL YEAR, STUDENTS NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR IT.
JOSH. RANDOM SPOT CHECKS ON RETURNING RESIDENTS. ARE THE HAPPENING FOR KEY WORKERS?
WE EXPECT THEM TO FOLLOW THE RULES. EMPLOYING MORE STAFF ON BORDERS TEAM TO DO THE CHECKS.
DHSC TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR KEY WORKERS. EMPLOYERS NEEDS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE STICKING TO THE RULES. IT CAN’T ALL BE DOWN TO GOV.
WITH NORTHWEST WILL GOING INTO LOCKDOWN. COULD WE GO BACK TO STAGE 5?
WE HAVE MOVED FROM 7 DAY TEST TO GOLD STANDARD 14 DAYS.
IF WE HAVE CASES IN THE COMMUNITY WE WILL BRING BACK SOCIAL DISTANCING AND THE VOLUNTARY WEARING OF MASKS.
SHOULD C-19 GET INTO THE COMMUNITY WE’LL MAKE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.
NEVER SAY NEVER.
HOPE UK GET THEIR NUMBERS DOWN SO WE CAN GET TO 3A.
CLOSING
STAY SAFE AND BE PREPARED
THANKS FOR LISTENING
