The current lockdown in Guernsey has been more difficult for people s mental health than the first lockdown last year, the island s Chief Minister has told ITV Channel.
Guernsey was put into lockdown at midday on the 23 January after four cases of unexplained community transmission were discovered the previous evening.
Deputy Peter Ferbrache says there was no way to prepare islanders because they had to make rapid changes.
If we hadn t taken the steps we did we could have had another five or six hundred cases. The virus was going through people like a knife through butter. I think in a way this lockdown has been more difficult on people s mental health than the first. The team prepared them as well they could last time. We couldn t prepare them this time because we had no foreknowledge this was going to happen.
