Ormicron cases and contacts will be allowed to exercise daily while self-isolating

People with Omicron and their direct contacts will be allowed to exercise outdoors while self-isolating, Jersey's Government has said.

The "current resilience" of the island's health service and wellbeing considerations played a part in the decision.

Two hours of exercise can be taken daily by sufferers of the Covid-19 variant.

New rules on mask wearing and home working were announced on Wednesday.

The Scientific and Technical Advisory Cell (STAC) has been asked to review the policy on Omicron direct contacts on Monday and further updates will be provided next week, the Government of Jersey has announced.
