Full ‘Exit from Lockdown’ Framework published

The States of Guernsey has released its full ‘Exit from Lockdown’ Framework document, explaining how it intends to gradually relax the COVID-19 restrictions.  The document also looks at what ‘triggers’ would allow the Bailiwick to move to the next phase of easing restrictions, or if necessary, return to a more strict set of lock down measures.  It is hoped that by publishing this document in full, Islanders will have a clearer understanding of how the States intends to return safely to normality and the reasoning behind the various steps that will get the Bailiwick there.
