Although the pandemic is not over Government have introduced a number of changes as part of a phased approach to reduce restrictions over the next few months. Businesses still have a part to play in keeping workplaces, staff and Islanders protected from the risk of COVID-19.
From February 1st 2022
- masks are no longer mandatory, but Public Health advice will continue to advise that masks should be worn in indoor places where physical distancing is difficult, and ventilation is poor
- collecting customer information is no longer a legal requirement for contact tracing
- working from home is no longer advised. Organisations should make plans to return employees to the workplace as part of their risk assessments and continuity planning
Contact tracing
There is no longer a requirement to collect contact tracing information for Government.. In light of these changes the Office of the Information Commission (JOIC) have issued a Contact Tracing Update with information on what to do with any details collected.
