Government reveals Covid-19 lockdown data
Traffic on the Island's roads dropped by around 70% between the beginning and end of March, government has revealed.
A graph plots the number of vehicle movements following the request for people to work from home, and then the introduction of Covid-19 social distancing and self isolation measures.
Since construction restarted and movement restrictions were relaxed, government says the figures have risen slightly, but remain at about 50% of normal.

The number of aircraft passengers arriving on the Island in April has also reduced by 99% year on year.
Just 294 people arrived here by plane in April 2020, compared with almost 71,000 in April last year (70,885).
An MHK, who has campaigned for regular air quality tests on the Island, says "people have seen how good the air has been" and in some cases "can even taste it."
Douglas North member Ralph Peake believes restrictions led to residents 'breaking habit' by working from home and are now opting for active travel options more often.
