Government Issue Self-Quarantine Guidance
As the coronavirus pandemic continues, the Bermuda Government is requiring people who enter the island to self-quarantine for 14 days to help limit any possible spread, with a guidance document providing tips for measures to take during quarantine.
In answering the question “What can I do while I am quarantined,” the document states: “Depending on the nature of your work, you may work from home. You can be in contact with your office and colleagues by phone calls, email, video conferencing and other online channels.
“You can go outside your house and sit outside, if there are no other people in the immediate area. You must be one meter (three feet) from others. If you need support like getting groceries or buying necessary items and supplies, contact a trusted family member or friend and arrange with them to get the items you need. They must leave the items in a secure location at your home – outside the door. The person must not enter your house. You must not touch that person and you must stay one meter or three feet from that person.

many of these measures for families in small houses – aka most of us – and just not practical. Also, Govt has been telling people to do this since Sunday – why issue this advice now?
A week ago, I thought Government was doing OK, now not so.
When did our leader last give a press conference? Last Friday!
This document is well prepared and informative but one question I have, if people travelling from overseas now or in the coming weeks, including the month of May when it is proposed that our flights and hotels will be going back to norm in the warmer months, if these individuals are cleared by a recognized health organization, will this be considered acceptable upon arrival, and more especially if the arrived passengers are pre- tested before arrival and test once again upon arrival on island, and found to not have Covid-19, why would the 14 day’s be necessary.
