Guernsey's Director of Public Health is calling on people to follow safety precautions after the Bailiwick recorded its highest daily number of coronavirus cases.
59 new infections were picked up yesterday (5 November), taking the active total to 217.
211 are in Guernsey, 4 are in Sark, and 2 are in Alderney.
The increase in case numbers has led the States of Guernsey to post safety messages on social media.
Dr. Nicola Brink has taken to Twitter to ask islanders to 'hold steady and work together.'
Really important message, particularly with the Delta Variant of Concern. Todays statistics show that we had the highest number of daily cases reported in the Bailiwick over the whole pandemic. Vaccination, ventilation, masks and do your lateral flow tests. #GuernseyTogether https://t.co/q6neYMQ0tI

Another important message. Working together to protect our community. #GuernseyTogether https://t.co/Q3NIRYWpND

We have seen an increase in cases over the past few days. We need to hold steady and work together. We have done this before. At this stage it is vaccinations, ventilation, mask wearing and regular testing using lateral flow tests. #GuernseyTogether.

Free lateral flow tests can be collected from Guernsey Information Centre between 9am-3pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 10am-2pm on Saturdays only.
