Coronavirus: fears about arrivals to Jersey’s Ecrehous Islands

On Saturday, Jersey downed France at orange risk, meaning travelers will have to isolate themselves for at least five days.

But the owners have reported an increase in the number of other people arriving on land.

Customs and port government said they were working together to monitor the activity.

The Ecrehous are an island organization about six miles off Jersey’s northeast coast, which are part of St. Martin’s parish and have a small number of cabins, basically used as vacation rentals.

Under Jersey law, travelers from an orange-risk country must make a check on the first and fifth days of arrival. If any of the checks are negative, they will be allowed to enroll in public life.

Richard Miles, who has a cabin there, said he’d like to see the newcomers at the Ecréhous.

“You can say that in a terrible sense, dealing with a Russian roulette situation, because you only want one or two of those other people from Brittany or Normandy and you know, you just want a user to spread something,” he said. Training

Deputy Steve Luce said French travellers had been informed that they could sail to the Ecrehous, but had been asked to disembark.

He said it was a matter of “self-control” for the other locals to “take care of.”

“But if things get out of hand, we’ll actually have to go to customs officials and honorary police to get them through there and have a word,” he added.

The Jersey government said more will be released this week on how arrivals to Ecrehous are monitored.
