Explanatory Note regarding subordinate legislation tabled at this meeting. (See Item B)
R&O.34/2020.
Covid-19 (Restricted Movement) (Jersey) Order 2020.
This Order declares 8 a.m. Monday 30th March 2020 as the start of a period of restricted movement under Regulation 5 of the Covid-19 (Screening, Assessment and Isolation) (Jersey) Regulations 2020 ("the Regulations"). It also declares 8 a.m. on Monday 13th April 2020 as the end of that period.
The Order makes exceptions from the requirement not to go to (or remain in) a public place. The exceptions cover police officers, when acting as such, and authorised officers (defined in the Regulations to include health officers, as well as police officers), when acting as such. They also cover other persons when they are in a public place for the purpose of their work, if it is not reasonably possible for them to work from their home. Work includes charitable and voluntary work, and travel from home to work and back is treated as being for the purpose of work. There is also an exception for other persons who are required to go to (or remain in) a public place to fulfil a legal obligation.
The requirement under the Regulations applies to any public place. The Order adds that a private road or way is also to be treated as a public place if the public has access to it, whether for payment or otherwise.
The Order comes into force at the start of the period of restricted movement.
The Order was made on 29th March 2020 and came into force on 30th March 2020 at 8 a.m.
