The Chief Minister has tested positive for coronavirus.
Senator John Le Fondre is isolating at home after returning a positive lateral flow test.
He's used the news to call on islanders to register for the free test-at-home kits.
As part of my regular lateral flow testing I have tested positive for COVID-19 and am therefore isolating at home.
