Another 13 cases of coronavirus have been recorded on the Isle of Wight today (Sunday).

It comes a day after the Island saw its highest ever daily total, with 41 new cases confirmed.

According to official figures, data revealed today takes the Island's total - since the pandemic started - to 857.

202 of those positive tests have been registered in the first 15 days of November.

A second national lockdown is now in force. It means pubs, restaurants and most shops should remain shut for four weeks.

Government restrictions can be found here.

The Isle of Wight Council is advising us to follow the government guidelines: hands, face, space.

Wash your hands often and for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitiser regularly.
Wear a face-covering where appropriate.
Keep space from other people; 2 metres or at least 1 metre apart.

If you or someone you know, displays any symptoms, no matter how mild, the council is urging you to get a free test by calling 119 or visiting NHS.uk

The council has also produced a self-isolation toolkit to help people prepare to self-isolate if they need to.
