Harbour Testing Centre Being Dismantled

Work has started to dismantle the Covid-19 testing centre at the harbour.

The main structure is being taken down to free up more space for passengers to use the Elizabeth Terminal over the spring and summer.

It should be gone in time for the Easter Holidays.

The centre was first opened at the harbour in July 2020 for people arriving in the island by ferry.

All PCR tests are now being done at the drive-through testing centre near the airport.

It moved back to the old cargo centre earlier this year.

2,295 people are currently known to have Covid-19 in Jersey.

Ten people being treated in hospital have the virus.

The legal requirement to isolate with coronavirus has been extended until the end of April because of an increase in infections, caused in the most part by a more transmissible sub-variant of Omicron.

It is now the predominant strain in Jersey and the UK.
