A press conference will be held later today to give a 'general update' on Covid-19.

It's set to be hosted by Chief Minister, Howard Quayle from 4pm, alongside Health and Social Care Minister, David Ashford and Education, Sport & Culture Minister, Dr Alex Allinson.

It's the first conference since the regular government briefings were stopped at the end of July - the Island has now gone over 100 days without any new cases of Coronavirus.
