Coronavirus: Three New Cases Recorded On Isle Of Wight

The Isle of Wight has recorded another three cases of coronavirus.

It takes the overall number since the pandemic began, to 476.

A 'glitch with an Excel spreadsheet' had meant that nearly 16,000 positive results were delayed at the weekend.

That had brought case numbers here to 473, as Isle of Wight Radio previously reported.

Eight cases have been registered here since last Monday (28), according to Public Health England. 

There have been no deaths on the Island since September 1.

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.
