Protect The Islands
In the western isles, there have only been 6 confirmed cases, with no extra cases for a while now. I know out of these 6 cases, most maybe even all, had contracted it while visiting the main land.
I think anyone coming to the island via boat or plane should be tested either on the ferry or on arrival, with isolation required if testing positive.
This would protect everyone here.
This would minimise the risk of when lockdown restrictions start to relax as there are several construction projects currently on hold but when they start up, the majority of workers are from the mainland.
If we can insure no new cases will come into the island or prevent the spread if it does, this would allow more restrictions to be lifted here.
We do have an army base up here, I don’t know if it would be possible for them to set up a testing station for all new arrivals.
Why the contribution is important
Will protect the local people while enabling the economy to get back on tracks.
