Goalposts move once again
Further changes to the rules surrounding animal travel have been made in case people ‘let their guard down’.
That’s according to the chief minister who has defended the decision to ban people from transferring pets to one another in a socially distanced way.
The new rules mean any animals coming to the Island must complete self-isolation with the person they travelled with and cannot be handed over.
It means owners could be separated from their pet for 14 days.
