  3. And the numbers will increase, marginally helped by the not wearing of masks when appropriate and not social distancing by both locals and individuals but mainly because more people will visit the Island. In September I will be one of them, again. But look at the figures, 315 active cases, 9 in hospital, on an Island of 255,000, without visitors. It’s unfortunate they don’t publish the Hospital admissions. Sue, if you’re in the UK, look at the figures for your locality and ask yourself is it really that worrying ? Forget the doom mongers, come to the Island, meet it’s people, use a bit of common sense and enjoy it.

  4. “It’s unfortunate they don’t publish the Hospital admissions”.

    These are updated daily. Eight people in hospital, 1 in ICU.

    1. They may do in the JM but not every day in the blog. Tobi, please don’t think this is a criticism of yourself. For instance on the 13th when 45 new cases were confirmed it would have been of interest to know if any cases were serious enough to be hospitalized. Three people commented on this.

  5. We are coming out to our apartment on 30 Aug for the first time in a year just hope Madeira is not moved to the Amber list as we only have a two week window for our visit.
