  1. Coronavirus: Bailiwick in an 'excellent position'

    BBC Radio Guernsey

    The Bailiwick of Guernsey continues to be in an "excellent position" to deal with the coronavirus, says the president of the Committee for Health and Social Care.

    The islands have gone 17 days without any confirmed new cases and there are only five active cases.

    So far Alderney, Sark and Herm have not had a single case of the virus.

    Deputy Heidi Soulsby says the islands' communities are the reason progress has been made.

    "I think everybody's embraced the Guernsey Together catchphrase that really people have wanted to go behind and support," she says.

    "The only reason why we're ahead of where we thought we'd be now is because of the community involvement and working with us."

  2. Churches open for private prayer

    The Anglican Dean of Guernsey has welcomed the States decision to reopen churches.

    Phase three of the easing of lockdown restrictions began on Saturday, allowing churches to open for private and individual prayer.

    Speaking on behalf of the Bailiwick's churches, the Very Reverend Tim Barker said he was pleased with the States' recognition that spiritual health is important for many people.

    Dean Barker and Father Bruce Barnes, the Catholic Dean, agreed to open churches from Monday to allow time for cleaning of churches that have been closed since late March.

    In some churches, access will be restricted to defined areas. Those visiting churches are required to observe social distancing and to use hand sanitising products.

  3. 'Humbling' project to feed struggling families

    BBC Radio Guernsey

    A hotel manager running a scheme to feed families who are struggling financially described the feedback she has received as "humbling".

    Les Cotils has been using its kitchen to give freshly cooked meals to islanders in need.

    Fiona Naftel said they decided to run the project over the period schools were closed to support people with "increasing difficulties" with children at home and reduced incomes.

    The project is now providing four meals every week to more than 80 families across Guernsey.
