DR HENNY

ALL IDENTIFIED LINES OF TRANSMISSION ARE CONTAINED
NO SURPRISE CASES ASSURES US THAT WE’VE PUT A LID ON IT
WE WILL PICK UP TRAVEL RELATED CASES

HOWARD – COMIN MEETING
NEW CHAPTER
ALL MEASURES TO BE LIFTED AT ONE MINUTE PAST MIDNIGHT ON MONDAY
WHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT CAN WE DO?
THINGS WILL LOOK AND FEEL LIKE THEY DID PRE LOCKDOWN 2.0
BUT THINGS ARE BETTER THIS TIME ROUND AS WE HAVE A VACCINE PROGRAMME
ON MONDAY GOV WILL STEP OUT OF YOUR LIVES
BUSINESSES CAN OPEN, SOME CONSIDERING A PHASED RETURN – THAT’S OK TOO – READY FOR YOU TO OPEN WHEN YOU ARE READY
SCHOOLS ARE BACK ON MONDAY – YOU CAN FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT RETURNING, BUT CHAT TO YOUR HEADTEACHER IF YOU HAVE ANY WORRIES
THANKS TO THE TEACHERS AND PARENTS
FROM MONDAY YOU CAN SEE YOUR MATES AND LOVED ONES
NO RULES ON FACE MASKS – PERSONAL CHOICE
RETURNING BORDERS TO PRE-LOCKDOWN (4) REGS
HOW PEOPLE REACT WILL BE DIFFERENT. SOME WILL BE ANXIOUS, SOME WILL WANT TO WEAR A MASK – RESPECT OTHERS CHOICES
AND IF PEOPLE WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM YOU – RESPECT THAT TOO
NOT EVERYONE WILL BE READY FOR A HUG
WE ARE CONFIDENT IT IS SAFE TO GET BACK TO NORMAL
BUSINESSES SHOULD MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON THEIR STAFF AND CUSTOMER NEEDS
DAVID WILL EXPLAIN HOSPITAL, WHICH IS MORE COMPLEX

SECOND PRIORITY GROUP – OVER 80s AND FRONTLINE HEALTH, SOCIAL CARE STAFF 46.6% HAD FIRST DOSE
STILL, SOME WAY TO GO, BUT MAKING GREAT PROGRESS AND THE PACE IS PICKING UP
LOTS OF GOOD NEWS
“YOU’VE BEEN AMAZING”
LET’S KEEP OUR WITS ABOUT US AND GO BACK TO THE BASICS: WASH YOUR HANDS – CALL 111 IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS
THERE’S A PANDEMIC GOIN’ ON AROUND US
SELF ISO – MEANS WHAT IS SAYS ON THE TIN – NO CONTACT
QUESTIONS
HELEN: PROM – WHAT HAPPENED TO UK CONTRACTORS?
HQ: SOME STAYED, SOME WENT BACK, WE’LL NEED TO GET THEM BACK. WILL MEAN A FURTHER DELAY
HELEN: BASICALLY, GERMANY ARE SAYING OXFORD VACCINE SHOULDN’T BE GIVEN TO 65+
DAVID: ADVICE IS THAT IT’S FINE TO BE ADMINISTERED. GERMAN EVIDENCE IS BEING WIDELY DISPUTED
DR HENNY: SAMES. PUBLISHED TRIAL RESULTS DO SHOW EFFICACY IN THOSE OVER 65+. UNDERSTAND THAT THE EU BODY HAVE ALSO APPROVED IT FOR USE WITHOUT RESTRICTION.
AL BELL: JUST ONE 2ND DOSE WAS ADMINISTERED YESTERDAY. HOW COME?
DAVID: DON’T FORGET THAT ONCE DEFROSTED THEY NEED TO BE USED WITHIN 5 DAYS FROM DEFROST.
AL BELL: DO WE HAVE A FIRM NUMBER OF THE COST OF A PCR TEST TO TAXPAYER?
DAVID: ABOUT A HUNDRED QUID A TEST. BUT IT’S BALLPARK AS THERE ARE HIDDEN COSTS LIKE STAFF TIME.
AL BELL: CAN WE HAVE A COST TO DATE?
DAVID: LOTS TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, WOULD BE INTERESTING BUT IT’S A WASTE OF TIME WORKING IT OUT
SAM: BUSINESSES WANTING TO PREPARE, CAN THEY GO IN THIS WEEKEND?
HQ: YES, BUT PLEASE RESPECT SOCIAL DISTANCING
DAVID: STAFF CAN ENTER TO PREPARE BUT DON’T SERVE PEOPLE. TAKE PRECAUTIONS
SAM: WHAT ABOUT THE NEW VACCINE? HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT US?
DAVID: EXPECTED SECOND HALF OF THIS YEAR, WE’LL RECEIVE THE SAME RATIO. LOOKS VERY POSITIVE BUT WANNA WAIT CBN (CAUTIOUS BY NATURE)
DR HENNY: NICE ONE DAVID. THESE ARE PUBLISHED TRIAL RESULTS SO NEED TO GO THROUGH REGULATOR FOR AUTHORISATION. THEN WE NEED TO GET THE PAPERWORK SIGNED OFF AND SORT THE SUPPLY CHAIN
LEANNE: UPDATE ON COMPASSIONATE TRAVEL GROUNDS?
HQ: CONSIDERED AGAIN FROM THE 26TH JAN.
DAVID: SHOULD BE A SERIOUSLY SICK RELATIVE OR FUNERAL ATTENDANCE
LEANNE: DATE FOR CARE HOMES RESIDENTS TO BE VACCINATED?
DAVID: FIRST DOSE BY MID-FEB. SECOND DOSE BY THE END OF MARCH FOR FULL VACCINATION
SIMON: EVERYONE IS BUZZING TO GET BACK TO NORMAL. WAS THE COMIN DECISION UNANIMOUS?
HQ: COMIN WERE DELIGHTED TO MOVE FORWARD. DATA SHOWS WE’RE IN A GOOD POSITION. NOT GONNA SHARE THE VOTE, IT’S CONFIDENTIAL
SIMON: HAS THERE BEEN AN INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES?
DR HENNY: NO HARD DATA. IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY CATEGORICALLY AS WE DON’T HAVE THE DATA. WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO LOOK BACK ON IT. NOTHING TO CREATE A STRONG SIGNAL OF CONCERN
ALEX W: 2ND DOSE CAN CAUSE MORE SIDE EFFECTS. ANY ADVICE FOR PREPPING?
DAVID: SIDE EFFECTS ARE WELL KNOWN AND NOT UNUSUAL. EVIDENCE IS SYMPTOMS LAST 24 HOURS AS BODY BUILDS UP THE ANTIBODIES. PERFECTLY NORMAL.
DR HENNY: NICE ONE DAVID. INFORMATION YOU ARE GIVEN GIVES SOME ADVICE. WELL DOCUMENTS AND TO BE EXPECTED. CHECK THE LEAFLET FOR MORE
ALEX W: DOUGLAS COUNCIL HAVE HIKED THEIR RATES. LIB VAN DON’T THINK THEY SHOULD, FACEBOOK AREN’T HAPPY EITHER?
HQ: I’M ALRIGHT JACK, I LIVE IN MAROWN.
NEED TO MONITOR THE SITUATION TO PROTECT THE VULNERABLE. WE’VE ALREADY SHELLED OUT £200m TO HELP INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES. WE CAN’T FUND EVERYTHING. BUT WILL LOOK AT IT IF PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING
PAUL: WHICH BUSINESSES DON’T WANT TO OPEN ON MONDAY?
HQ: PRIVATE BUSINESSES WITH TEAMS WFH, IT’S THEIR CHOICE.
PAUL: ARE GOVERNMENT GOING BACK TO WORK?
HQ: YEAH, THEY MIGHT STAGGER IT, I’M NOT IN THE DETAIL THO
PAUL: GONNA BE MORE CAUTIOUS THIS TIME. IF WE DON’T SHAKE HANDS WE WON’T GET FLU ETC SO MAKES SENSE?
HQ: HAVE SEEN A REDUCTION IN WINTER FLU, INCREASED HAND HYGIENE HAS HELPED
DR HENNY: TRUE DAT, RATES OF FLU ARE LOWER THAN USUAL. IMPROVED HAND WASHING HAS WORKED
PAUL: ARE LESS PEOPLE DYING AS WELL?
DR HENNY: HAVEN’T REVIEWED THE DATA YET, BUT WE WILL SOON
DAVID: IT’S OK TO BE NERVOUS, IT’S NATURAL, DON’T DO ANYTHING YOU’RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH.
JOSH: HOW LIKELY IS IT THAT WE WILL START TO SEE SPREAD AGAIN?
DR HENNY: AN EVER PRESENT RISK. WE ARE ONLY AS COVID SAFE AS THE LAST PERSON ACROSS THE BORDER. WE ALL NEED TO TAKE THAT MESSAGE TO HEART. IF IT GETS INTO THE COMMUNITY IT CAN SPREAD QUICKLY, LIKE GUERNSEY.
WE WERE LUCKY THAT WE COULD IDENTIFY LINES OF TRANSMISSION BACK AND MAP AND CLOSE OFF LINES OF TRANSMISSION. IF THOSE INITIAL PEOPLE HAD BEEN ASYMPTOMATIC IT COULD HAVE SPREAD FURTHER AND FURTHER, THAT’S WHERE THINGS CAN GO BADLY WRONG.
JOSH: ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN THE SUCCESS LOCKDOWN 2.0? WILL YOU FOLLOW THE SAME ROUTE IF WE NEED TO?
HQ: YEP, SUCCESS THANKS TO THE GREAT MANX PUBLIC.
ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. SHOULD THERE BE ANOTHER OUTBREAK WE MIGHT LET CONSTRUCTION CONTINUE BUT WILL BE CASE BY CASE? NEED TO LEARN FROM EXPERIENCES. LEARNING ALL THE TIME.
DELIGHTED THAT WE WORKED TOGETHER TO STICK TO THE LOCKDOWN, IT SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED, SHARING EXPERIENCES WITH OUR MATES IN GUERNSEY
CLOSING
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING EVERYONE
GREAT MANX PUBLIC HAVE DONE US PROUD
ALL BEING WELL, MONDAY SHOULD BE A WELCOME RETURN TO THE NEW NORMAL, ENJOY IT, YOU’VE EARNED IT.
AND PLEASE BE KIND TO EACH OTHER.
