A man has been jailed for breaching quarantine rules.

The 64-year-old was arrested yesterday (Friday) after failing to isolate on his return to the island.

He was held in police custody overnight and appeared before court via a live video link this morning.

He was sentenced to four weeks in jail.

Police said the matter had been reported to them by the public. ’We appreciate the help you are giving to us to keep the island Covid free,’ said a police spokesman.
