The advice for people to work from home, where possible, will end at 00:01 GMT on 24 January

The advice for residents of Alderney to work from home where possible will end on Monday.

Cases of Covid-19 in Alderney have "decreased significantly", since the peak over Christmas, The President's Office said.

The number of people on the island currently known to have the virus stands at 33 - down from 150 earlier this month.

However, people are still being advised to use face coverings.

The President's Office said the risk of person-to-person transmission was reducing but there was still a need to "follow advice on living responsibly with Covid-19".

This advice included "taking a lateral flow test before attending large or crowded/close gatherings where ventilation may be poor" as well as the use of face coverings.

The work from home where possible guidance was issued in Alderney on 22 December.
