The pubs etc opened 2 weeks ago, my friend has been hammering facebook with "look at me at the pub"

If you travel there you are automatically thrown into 2 weeks quarantine

I could be wrong but I'm sure the only travel to there is via cargo ship at the moment lol, couple of hours in a crate has to be worth a pint pulled at a pub

The IOM is now 30+ consec days of no new cases and officially (at the moment!!!) virus free.Everything is pretty well back to their "new normal" Importantly though, the borders remain closed for the foreseeable future.My understanding is IOM, Guernsey and Iceland are all currently virus(new cases) free

Can confirm almost 100% normality in the IOM. We have been at our house there since mid March.

As you rightly point out the borders between the IOM & UK remain closed which is of course what has led us to be able to safely remove restrictions ahead of other places.

I had a pint on Thursday, had to stand on the street and drink it like a wino though, just not the same, fake glasses too, id kill for a pint in a proper glass and a game of darts now.

Did it feel easy to go back to normality around other people?

We didn't expect it would but it was surprisingly easy. Guess we felt reassured by the way the IOM Govt has dealt with the crisis and that there hasn't been a reported case for 31 days now.

Also, people on the Island fell into line with the SD requirements and even the 40mph speed limit on all roads which was put into place to reduce the possibility of road accidents and the resulting impact on Police and Health Services.

Have been to our local a couple of times now and the one single requirement is that you are requested not to stand at the bar after being served your drinks (Wasn't a requirement before in our local)

Fly with Aurigny and directly into 14 days quarantine for essential travel only I believe. No fast ferry at the moment. Not sure if Condor freighter carrying passengers. No visitors/tourists yet so no beer trip sadly !!

You’re correct. Essential travel only to and from the Channel Islands at the moment and 14 days quarantine when you enter the islands. Strangely enough they are exempt from quarantining when arriving in the UK.

It looks like travel restrictions could be lifted from July.

Jersey currently have 5 live cases.

Fantastic news... Shows what can happen

I'm guessing no protests, no crammed beaches, no raves...

And none on the Isle of Man either. Small peaceful BLM protest last week. Crammed beaches are much less of a likelihood here than the Channel Islands at any time due to our climate!!!

Guernsey is now 10 weeks without cases. The 14 days quarantine for people arriving from the UK is remaining until the beginning of September.

Everything feels normal now apart from the off island travel.

We can go to the Isle of Man via a new "air bridge" without quarantine on return.

It's a good place to be at present.

Hope all you UK Fabsters are well

Isle of Man has now gone 50 days without a covid case, and residents can now travel to UK but must self isolate for 14 days on returning to the island.
