    A survey has found 79% of 585 respondents in Jersey perceive the threat of Covid-19 as high or very high.

    This level of threat has been agreed by 77% of 736 respondents in Guernsey.

    Island Global Research, who are conducting investigations across the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, said despite an increasing number of confirmed coronavirus cases, respondents "tended to feel there is less of a threat this week".

    It said this was due to a number of reasons including:

    • Feeling more adjusted to new routines
    • Staying at home and having social distancing measures in place
    • Additional precautions food retailers are now taking to maintain social distance and cleanliness
    • Increased confidence that other people are now adhering to the social distancing guidelines
