Anyone on IOW, IOM, Channel Islands or other islands?

DH and I have just been wondering how you're getting in this crisis. He was born on the IOW but left when he was 2. Are your ferries still running, supplies still arriving?

Not me but a friend is marooned in Tenerife as she couldn’t get back to IOM

Channel Island ferries cancelled to pax til end of May from UK and France. Freight ferries still running

Wow the end of May now? I knew Condor had cancelled until May 14th last time I looked.

Guernsey has a two week quarantine so unless you are going home or to relocate for work there isn't much point going there at the moment. I'm not sure if Jersey has the same. There is the odd flight from Southampton I don't know if you can get there any other way.

I'm on the mainland but the ferries to the IOW have been scaled back.

Jersey is getting its own Nightingale hospital.
Flights to Jersey were somewhat curtailed anyway by Flybe's demise.

Nobody allowed to travel to the IOM, you can leave but not come back. Some residents who were stranded in the uk have been allowed back this week but they are under quarantine for 2 weeks in a local hotel.

Essential freight and post is still allowed
