Jersey’s Safer Travel Policy
SUMMARY:
England as a nation to be reclassified as Red from Tuesday, 29 June
- From Tuesday, 29 June at 00:01, England as a nation will be reclassified as Red due to rising COVID-19 case rates.
- Until this time, England remains Green with emergency brakes in place.
Updated guidance on children’s travel
- From Tuesday, 22, June at 00:01, children under the age of 18 will be classed as Green arrivals, regardless of their parents’ vaccination status or their 14-day travel history.
- Children aged 11 to 17 years old will be required to complete a pre-departure travel form and undertake a PCR test upon arrival (day 0) and on day 8, and must isolate until they receive a first negative test result. Children aged 10 or under will not be required to complete a pre-departure travel form or undergo testing.

This means that these regions will turn Red at the effective time.
No further emergency brake updates will be made before Tuesday, 29 June. All existing emergency brake areas will remain in place until Tuesday, 29 June at 00:01 when the emergency brake system will not currently be required with England being Red.
Stage 7 Reconnection Roadmap delay
- Ministers have agreed to delay Jersey’s Reconnection Roadmap for a further two weeks until Monday, 5 July at the earliest. Until that time, nightclubs will remain closed, except when operating as food and drink premises, stand-up drinking cannot resume and a maximum limit of 20 people in homes and gardens remains in place, except for weddings. Ministers will announce any revised guidance on Thursday, 1 July.
