Plans to ease Jersey's border restrictions will be announced in a press conference this Friday (19 March).
Everyone coming into Jersey, bar essential workers with quarantine-exemptions, currently has to isolate until getting a Day 10 negative Covid-19 test.
All of the UK was placed onto Jersey's safe travel red list in late December because of the spike in Covid cases at the time.
Prior to that, a traffic light system was in place based on the rate of infection in different countries and regions.
Jersey currently has six known active cases of coronavirus.

Dates for reopening the borders were not included in Jersey's roadmap to recovery announcement earlier this month.
Guernsey's Chief Minister Deputy Peter Ferbrache then said he was keen to sort a travel corridor with Jersey - but only when it's safe to do so.
The topic of vaccine passports has also been considered in recent days, which Senator Farnham has indicated his support for.
