Deputy Robert Ward Chair

Safer Travel Guidelines Review Panel BY EMAIL

5 November 2020 Dear Chair

Safer Travel Guidelines Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding.

The exemption policy for inbound travel isolation requirements for critical workers can be found here:

https://www.gov.je/Health/Coronavirus/Travel/Pages/RequestPermissionNotToSelfIsolateWo rkPurposes.aspx

In the period from 20/10/2020 to 04/11/2020, applications were approved for a total of 153 workers.

Due to the volume of applications received during this time and the quick turnaround required, we are unable to detail all the groups/industries for which exemptions were provided. However, among  the  categories  processed  were  aircraft  engineers,  baggage  handling  systems engineer,  maintenance  and  refurbishment  at  La  Colette,  healthcare  professionals, construction workers, sewage works engineers and an elevator commissioning engineer.

I hope this is helpful Yours sincerely

Deputy Richard Renouf

Minister for Health and Social Services
