The Isle of Wight will join the rest of the country in re-entering a period of lockdown from this coming Thursday until 2nd December, the Prime Minister has announced this evening (Saturday).
Pubs, restaurants and all non-essential shops, leisure and entertainment venues such as hairdressers, beauty salons and leisure centres must close from 00:01 on Thursday 5th November and will not be permitted to re-open until 2nd December – undoing all the hard work businesses have been putting in to get the doors back open in a COVID-secure way.
Families will not be allowed to mix inside except for childcare and other forms of support.
Manufacturing and construction will be encouraged to keep going and takeaways will be allowed to remain open, as well as those offering a delivery and click & collect services. Workplaces where workers cannot work from home should stay open.
Schools, colleges and other educational establishments will remain open – one of the significant differences from this lockdown and the one experienced at the start of this year. Courts and Parliament will also stay open.
Outdoor exercise and recreation is being encouraged, but only with 1 other person when from another household. Private prayer in places of worship will be permitted.
Financially, it has been announced the furlough scheme will be extended throughout November but it is unclear what support will be in place for individuals and businesses not part of the furlough scheme.
Extension to the 4-week lockdown
It is entirely possible that the Island will stay under tight restrictions after 2nd December. In effect, the whole of England will fall under a Tier 4 level and after 2nd December each area will be adjusted to Tiers 1-3, depending on how serious the situation is in the local area.
Christmas will be different, the Prime Minister has said.
Press Leaks
News of the impending restrictions was leaked to the national press on Friday night, forcing Boris Johnson to bring forward the big announcement from Monday to today. Today’s dire news comes on the same day that the furlough scheme ends and mortgage holidays cease.
The announcement was due to be made at 16:00, then 17:00 but was pushed back to 18:30.
Lasting Impact
For Islanders, the impact may be less significant than earlier in the year with the summer season now long gone, but the decision to implement another lockdown will no doubt leave many wondering what was achieved in the first lockdown. It certainly raises the question of whether major events will be able to go ahead in 2021 at all.
The Isle of Wight remains one of the safest places in the country in terms of COVID infections and deaths. The total number of cases since the start of the pandemic is 637.
Island Echo will continue to report throughout the second lockdown, standing by our readers as we have done throughout the pandemic. We take our role as key workers seriously and will bring you all the latest updates in an accurate and proportionate way.
I think we all saw this coming. We have a moral duty to do what is being asked of us and protect the NHS so that the people who need to access it can. We have the chance to shut the stable door before the horse has bolted. Keep safe everyone. Clean hands, wear a mask and keep your distance.
no – we do not have a moral duty – no one does
perhaps if those at risk stayed indoors out of the way, then the rest of us could just get on with things and ignore this stupid virus. It has a 99.98% survival rate and most can just simply ignore it and carry on.
once again, it is the old people in charge, ruining it for the rest of us, whilst they continue to get their public sector wages and pensions, whilst the private sector is thrown under the bus.
all mp’s and scientists and anyone else demanding a lockdown, should have their income stopped and see how they like it.
Bet you’re an inconsiderate millennial ?.. let’s hope COVID doesn’t knock on your families door and take your mum, dad, granny, grandad ??? As for still getting public sector wages and pensions, they’ve earned it, so shut up and crawl back under your stone …
Edgreen – no they haven’t earned it – these leeches are sponging off the taxpayer whilst barking orders at others
the private sector earns their money and they are being told to stop trading by a bunch of deadbeats that will not be suffering financially.
personally – I will be out and about doing whatever I want – I am unconcerned by others – you are not my problem and neither is anyone else.
And Freedom, you will be the first one DEMANDING Health Care if you or your loved ones gets I’ll because of your selfishness.
it is impossible to demand healthcare in this country with the amount of leeches, layabouts, liars, hypochondriacs, snowflakes, freeloaders,healthcare tourists and every other BS artist clogging up they system.
And what do you say to the over 600 families of the NHS workers that have died. I Hope you get it and suffer. Then you may realise what its like.
careful what you wish for anon – as you may just get it.
Bit harsh mate
You despicable bastard. Karma’s a bitch mate, watch out.
If you take the known figures from the Island, with 637 known infections, with 91 known deaths – you end up with a mortality rate of 14.2%. That seems extremely high.
If we take the overall estimate for the number of people who have been infected in the UK, we’re at about a million. That’d suggest that one in 66.6 people have been infected. If we use that as a figure, then it would suggest that about 2126 people on the Island have been infected on the basis that the Island’s population is 141,606 people. I suspect that the Island’s remoteness means that this figure is actually too high, but I don’t have anything better to work with.
Using that higher number of infections, then we see COVID-19 has a mortality rate of about 4.3%. Using those figures, we can say that the virus has already killed at least 1 in 24 people on the Island. That’s a rather sobering thought. I’d put it that people do indeed have a moral duty to protect each other.
More worrying OUGHT to be that Half of those entering the hospital here in Newport, left in a body bag.
50/50 ward is what it (the cv ward) is aptly know as in house.
Let us hope the ‘odds’ have improved a bit now with experience and different drugs.
Too much cash is wasted on mental health whilst medical issues go unchecked causing real, not perceived suffering.
They call that existentialism!
………….and Breathe
No we don’t. Check your facts before believing this governments lies. NHS is overwhelmed EVERY year despite covid19. Should we lockdown every year then?
I do check my facts unlike you. The NHS is NOT overwhelmed every year. You’re talking rubbish. Please show me the news reports every year where they have to open emergency hospitals and cancel all appointments for months? In the last 10 years they have had at most 20,000 die from flu and colds. So far this year well over 40,000 from covid and looking to hit 100,000.
As for 40,000 dying from covid it is well known that if you have a positive corona test and you die within 28 days of your result it does not matter what you die of it will put down a covid death
Bloody dumbass comment. Get a grip you retard
Not a retard, that’s rude and insulting. Let’s say instead that this is a comment from someone who reads the red tops and obeys whatever the government demands and is not capable of research in order to form an educated opinion. Oh yes, a retard. My bad.
I seen it coming, AND guessed the ‘timing’. Not hard. Like the main Summer Hol season, NO mention of growing cases, or masse testing, UNTIL the main season ended, then, guess what? Suddenly, and ‘surprisingly’ (not) numbers shot up. But by then tills had been filled.
So like now, with Christmas being a time of massive spending, HMG have ‘waited’ until the half term money making ‘Holiday’ is over, as, like with the Summer hols, they didn’t want to ‘scare off’ holiday makers, and now know that a ‘tight’ lockdown now, will mean it can be eased off, just at the right time for people to go out and spend in December.
This is NOT about ‘saving Christmas’ but about trying to save businesses, of which the failure will affect us all, be it lack of jobs, increases in stealth taxes, more unemployment and crime etc etc.
So don’t ‘blame’ the Gov, but they in this PC, wishy washy world can’t directly come out and speak the truth anymore, and as I find on here, many don’t ‘want’ the hear such anyway. So HMG have to ‘pretty’ it up, yet the actions and results are the same.
“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
If you really still believe in your lying and incompetent Government, you really need to listen to Dr Mike Yeadon Former CSO & VP Allergy Respiratory Research Pfizer Global. Who will tell you the pandemic is over…An excellent interview with Anna Brees.
“How long will it be before the realisation sinks in that we have been stampeded, quite needlessly, into poverty and darkness?”
“Lockdowns don’t work and they are making poor people a lot poorer all around the world.” Dr David Nabarro, Britain’s envoy to the World Health Organisation.
Many hair dressers, gardeners, tree surgeons, chippies, kitchen fitters, mechanics etc etc, have done very well out of this, by claiming furrlough AND still working on the sly.
Of course none will admit it on here, so you only hear the hard pressed honest ones, but trust me, plenty have made a fortune swindling HMG
None of these measures are unjust and people just simply need to follow them, we wouldn’t be in lockdown if those selfish muppets would of obeyed the guidelines. Boris should of done this weeks ago but everything the government has put in place is 100% correct. Whoever disagrees needs to wake the hell up, face facts and get over themselves.
i have no intention of being made to stay indoors like some naughty kid -i will be out and about regardless.
you can slavishly obey the word of another like a servant or slave, i on the other hand won’t be.
Then you are going to be part of the problem that will make this pandemic continue….you carry on then being selfish and stupid like a pathetic covidiot rebel.
Lets hope that the ferry companies do a better job of travel restrictions than they did before
a resident…the ferry companies are not under any legal obligation to stop people travelling …so they wont be.
You still don’t get it do you .the ferry companies are not police. Get over yourself.
Ferry companies should work overtime to get all holiday makers off the island before thursday as travel after then will not be essential and breach new lockdown rules.
Steve – why should ferry staff be expected to be out working extra – why don’t you get off your arse and do the work you are dictating others to do
Worked through the first lockdown as a Key worker, would gladly operate ferry if was qualified.
How nice for you
Steve, sod off! I need come back and forth off the island for medical treatment, what do you want me to do, swim the Solent just so you can justify your over inflated sense of self.
How True it is i dont know put i was told by a friend that they had read on their pad that people away on Holiday do not have to rush home they can stay & finish their Holiday then return home makes the lockdown a joke if its true that means the hotels they are staying in will still be open when others are forced to close sorry but Holiday makers should be made to go home on Weds even if they were due to stay till Friday or Saturday ive seen 8 coaches today all from the midlands & the north places that are in tier 3 lockdown so why are they down here in the first place
Actually it would be essential travel, to travel home after thursday as their hotel would be shut to them,and it would be essential for them to return home,what else would you do with them,get the council to put them up in a hotel?
Another opportunity missed schools should also be locked down. Stats show a 50 fold increase in cases amongst secondary school students, the biggest increase is in the 18 to 40 year olds funny enough the age of parents of school kids, and from there spreading to grandparents.
I agree, kids spread all germs/viruses. This one is no different. ONS and many doctors have said it is being spread from them to their parents/wider families. So much talk about kids not getting as ill but think about those they then spread it to. Not to mention little thought or consideration for the staff at school. Some of whom I would assume are in the vulnerable group with no PPE or ability to social distance. Good old Boris!
ONS do not say anything. They simply report figures, which are then turned into lies, damned lies and statistics.
Yes they should
steve
Didn’t think holidays have ever been classed as “essential”
The island’s numbers would have remained lower if coach holidays here had not been allowed in England like in Wales.
Five coaches here last week from higher Tier areas on the mainland.
YJC, agree with your post 100%. Holidays are not essential. Stay at home, save lives, protect the NHS. Why do some people find this so difficult to understand and follow? Well they’ll have to bloody follow it now.
I bet they don’t though. Coz they know they can get away with it.
Actually, we don’t have to bloody follow it. And a lot of us won’t. I will not live my life according to a catchphrase. If you want to do that, how about ‘Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights? Ah, that one scares you eh?
well said susie – i won’t be taking much notice of a handful of dictators in london.
You sound like a very, selfish, hateful, person. ‘Hope I never meet you.
I agree with you, I was suggesting holiday makers should leave as their return journey after thursday would breach lockdown rules, would have been better if they had stayed away in the first place (like holiday makers from Belgium, Manchester, etc in holiday lets down lane this week)
I suppose that, like last ttime, nothing will be done to protect the Island’s residents, like stopping all ferries etc. Come on IWC do someting positive to protect our lives. What a hope.
And pigs might fly
The island is part of the UK. You know that right ?
Wales was shut to people going in, should have same rules for the island
Do you not realise you live on an island that is totally dependant on the ferries for mail, food, fuel and everything else needed to survive? Possibly stopping the ferries not such a great plan…
You would stop the ferries completely? OK, so lets do that. Then, let’s try to get our post, anything that has been ordered online, any commodity that cannot be grown on the island, your favourite booze, for example. How about medication? I bet you’re on a few . How’s that going to find its way into your bathroom cabinet? Drones? Extreme swimmers? Please, THINK before you post, you may avoid looking like a total numpty next time.
Stop the mask exemption rubbish as well, if you need to shop, wear a damn mask. If some shop are open and the staff have to wear one, so should you. Simple.
I will be watching the ferry companies too.
If I need to shop I should wear a mask? I live alone, have no-one to run errands for me and need to shop as much as you and your family. However, as to wearing a mask? It’s not simple at all. I was abducted and sexually assaulted by a man who gagged me with a woolen scarf. At times , during this violation I could barely breathe.. So, you want me to wear a mask to buy my groceries? It’s all I can do to leave the house to go to the store. I beg you to have some compassion, you have no idea why the person not wearing a mask isn’t conforming to your idea of what’s right.
Lol
Yes you should wear as mask, as the majority do now anyway. Or wear a clear visor at least.
RN EVIL 9 I see you have removed your insensitive comment in which you advised me of the need to be properly certified by my g p or mental health professional before I can leave my home without a mask. This just proves how incredibly ignorant and self- centered you really are. HOW DARE YOU ASSUME that I’m not provided with consent from my gp.? How dare you assume that I can overcome the trauma of rape, just because you think I should comply with your bitter and twisted doctrine? I see your user name is that of a particularly fine album from Emerson, Lake and Palmer. It’s such a shame your days of peace and love have withered so badly and left you narrow minded and bitter. I wonder, if you had a daughter, a wife, a sister who was brutally raped, leaving them with a fear of leaving their home, or of being alone, or of having their head or faces covered, would you insist that they wear a mask every time they have to leave their home.? I doubt it very much, unless you are actually the idiotic brainwashed specimen your posts indicate. Yes, watch the ferry companies you condescending fool . It is not in their remit to police their passengers. They are mariners not enforcers.
It is sad and disgusting people like you, who pick on the disabled and single them out…shame on you !!!!
I’m not picking on the disabled, if they are truly disabled then get a proper exemption certificate not something you downloaded from a website and printed out.
And how dare you imply that I printed an exemption form from a website. Your insensitivity is overwhelming.
KARN EVIL 9 I see you have removed your insensitive comment in which you advised me of the need to be properly certified by my g p or mental health professional before I can leave my home without a mask.

Just watch the supermarkets run out of loo roll, these shops will NOT shut. No need to panic buy fools.
Security is going to be hot in stores and you wont be able to purchase huge amounts of items so that it’s fair to everyone
Let’s hope so
Yes, that’s correct. Rule of 3 on certain items to try and stop the selfish, greedy buggers emptying the shelves again. No need, buy as normal, supermarkets are remaining open and deliveries will be as normal. As Jones said to Captain Manering, DON’T PANIC
After careful research, watching the ‘thumbs up/thumbs down voting here and keeping track of posts and peoples reactions to posts, I have come to the undeniable conclusion that your opinion does not matter in the slightest. Do us, and yourself a huge favour and keep those opinions to yourself. Why not do something less contentious like watching the soaps or a nice jigsaw puzzle.?
Rule of 3 Rule of 6 Hmmm, isn’t there a rather scary book that has similar catchphrases as its main theme? I’m not going to panic thanks for the thought. BTW,Don’t panic was said by Captain Mannering.
I think you’ll find that it is MAINWARING
i have already visited several shops in the same day and got three of the same thing in each shop -now I have nearly one hundred toilet rolls and a freezer full of food.
stocked up on toiletries etc – get in there first – make sure I have enough to get through any unexpected shortages.
Oh my word, toilet roll police? Bean police?Do you think supermarket cashiers signed up to be enforcers? Stores are going to have special security are they? What a great opportunity for some feeble minded jobsworths to finally show us all how very important the are. Wow, those big boys that bullied them in school will have to show some respect now, won’t they? I can see it now – ‘I’m sorry sir'(smirks and dribbles a little) ‘You’re only allowed 3 cans of beans’ Yeah, that’ll show ’em. And what will we do with these enforcers when they are no longer required? My imagination can’t cope with that scenario.
Since when have we been international travel. ??
Perhaps you should go out and look and listen during the holiday season. I think you might be surprised.
Yet another embarrassing u-turn Boris…this country is well & truly screwed!
Will always be the case whilst we don’t have a democracy. We get the leadership we deserve as free and frank discussion, whist being respectful, of all issues, is denied.
Yet another short sighted comment Tom ! No matter who was in power . we would be in the same boat, country’s across the world are in the same situation, dammed if you do dammed if you don’t ,
Every country has thrown money they don’t have at this and will continue to do so.
The Labour Party don’t have any answers either or instead of criticism the would offer solutions, but they are far to busy infighting to worry about the population
Sweden hasn’t.
We should all protest against this pathetic lockdown as it’s going to ruin the economy even more !!
Wait for the new tax rise people , that’s if your not on benefits like quarter of the island population.
Just hope those island people who didn’t take it seriously enough the first time, actually listen now. I for one would like my life and family back together properly.
Maybe…oakfield stores should enforce mask wearing..covid hotspot
Certainly is mate – it seems to be a case of “spot the mask” if you can. Have only ever seen one member of staff with a mask and that’s the older lady who serves first thing in the morning.
That’s because you’re shopping in a store where the shoppers have free will and excercise their right to non compliance.
No one can enforce wearing a mask people have a choice.
Blame the university’s love
Glad I blockaded my gate this evening. The covidiots are out with their germ ridden offspring spreading it about. Seriously can’t exercise any self control? I get it, the kids love it. It’s fun. But maybe wait till next year and make it epic. Is it that hard to tell your kids weeks before ‘sorry guys, we’re in a pandemic. Going to have to skip Halloween this year’. Kids will understand. It’s character building!
Or just keep them in like a sensible person and have a little party at home with them.
Totally agree
Those sprogs are the worst spreaders
Keep them indoors and locked up
Why has Tom been voted down on his comment? Bloody Halloween, another stupid thing the UK has taken up from America. Halloween, or Old Hallows Eve as it was originally called, basically was linked to Devil Worship. Of course the kids don’t understand it, neither do the parents, it’s just an excuse to spend, spend, spend and shove loads of sweets and cakes into the kids mouths and on some cases, particularly more on the mainland, going door to door begging. If the older kids/teenagers don’t get anything they start damaging people’s property.
It’s a bit of fun you miserable toad.
You know so little …how do you think your opinion actually matters?
Totally agree. Halloween is another dumb idea imported from the States – adults and their sprogs dressed up like witches and knocking on lonely old peoples doors in the dark and scaring them witless. When I was a lad, we were too busy getting the fireworks sorted for November 5th to bother about Halloween.
Tom has been voted down on his comment because people here do not agree with him. That’s how this works!
Halloween is a pre-christian event, we introduced it to many countries. Please, do some research before using your keyboard and pretty please, put your brain in gear before running your mouth.Halloween has nothing whatsoever to do with devil worship. It is an opportunity to honour the dead and remember their part in the evolution of life.Do you decorate a tree at christmas? Research why that is a tradition, from the same people who honoured their dead. Do some proper research mate or you will continue to be perceived as an ignorant, miserable old fool.
Makes sense to me, and still you get down voted….. What the hell is wrong with some peoples mentality?
Because they differ from yours they are wrong? What happened to freedom of speech.
Oh, you’re upset because everyone and their brother does not agree with you? That’s called democracy and we will fight to keep that, despite your efforts to make us comply.
The vulnerable this time have to go shopping. My husband and I were helped last time, but now we’re on our own trying to get prescriptions and food and getting blood tests done.

Why is the island with its very low infection rate being treated the same as a densely populated inner city area?
One size most definitely does not fit all.
People will die as a result of this lockdown and businesses will close for good destroying lives in the process.
National lockdown is not the only way to tackle the virus but it is by far the easiest to implement.
There are other ways to keep people safe without causing further suffering for those on the island.
Our low infection rate is a result of of low population density and the sensible attitude of the majority of the island’s residents.
This lockdown is just a kick in the teeth to all those who have worked hard to make their homes, schools and businesses as safe as possible. For many that will all be for nothing.
We are all having to suffer this because quite simply some folk didn’t give a jot and didn’t worry where they went what they did or who with. North country folk being the prime examples…
Why do people always bring up the racism card when somebody tells the truth.
it doesn’t matter what colour people are, what nationality they are, what religion they follow.
the reason that the virus is raging in some areas of England Is because the people living there haven’t followed the guidelines. Plain and simple and it’s had a knock on affect for the rest of us.
Racist really!!!!! Get over yourself or are you after compensation ??!?!
Yes, I agree. Simple answer is to lock down the irresponsible under 50s and allow the mainly responsible over 50s to carry on as normal. Infection rates would plummet within weeks.
If you stopped the testing the virus will disappear. For such a devastating virus you need the most intrusive test to see if you have it…you could not make it up so stop believing this crap.
Exactly.
Well you can carry on as usual but give a s—t that’s all
It was never about the virus.And no matter what you do it will never go away…herd immunity and T-cells is what the human race has done for years so stop hiding from the flu…which incidentally kills 0.06% with an average age of 82 and with existing issues.
Oh god this is getting bad. I guess I won’t be having my Windows fixed now I will be changing the appointment my husband said they amount of different houses the people will be going will only encourage covid to spread faster. If you think they could go to at least 10 different families a day its scary I don’t want covid
You can still get your windows fixed .don’t panic .Its nowhere near as bad as all these idiots will have you believe.
I guess you are from the mainland, one of the “I don’t give a s**t brigade” or more likely, ignorant and not caring.
Don’t worry, just have the work done. You’ll be absolutely fine, according to some of the so called “experts ” on here. This virus doesn’t exist, according to them and hasn’t killed many thousands of people in this country. Just watch this get voted down by the same idiots.
Surely this is a wind-op? No-one could be that ill informed.
Well the rich can move in to there holiday homes again but it’s OK they bring money to the island
Thank you.
Anyway where are the pirates now?
County Hall, top floor.
Is everyone’s memories so short they cannot remember that the NHS is up to capacity and beyond EVERY year?
Old people on trolleys in corridors?
A&E packed to the gunnels?
They’re just trying to justify their pathetic handling of this virus.
I suggest everyone checks on the manufacturers website for the PCR test, where they state it’s not to be used for diagnosis of covid19 but only research purposes due to high inaccuracies.
Death rate is extremely low for this virus.
I would like to know where the billion pound plus funding has been ‘found’, for the absolutely useless testing system. Whilst I also realise that common sense must be left at the door when entering the world of politics, but even accounting for that, the way this has been handled from the onset, beggars belief.
Closing gyms again, taking away people rights to exercise. Work, work, work, around 30+ strangers, but can’t have our time to blow off some steam at the gym. Money over matter, yet again. #bowtoboris
Freshwater C0-0p car park was full of mainland registered cars on Saturday. I just drove round and came straight out.
A lot of cars a registered off the island, no way to tell if it’s an island car or a car from north island.
Just because they are mainland registered does not mean the occupants are. I have never bought my cars on the Island.
Not all mainland registered cars are owned by people living on the mainland.
The car i own now is an island reg car, but the all the cars i’ve owned since 1990 have had mainland reg plates.
A total lockdown should include ALL airports and ferries, but i bet that doesn’t happened, and as for people isolating when arriving in this country, i don’t suppose that will happen either.
Just because hw or dl is not on number plate doesn’t mean they are not islanders sensible people go to mainland to get better car deals like my family and myself
How nice for you.
It seems all these numbers they thow up are all made up by mathematicians assuming.. Government says hospital are full, which in fact is a lie. Our NHS hospital here the other day only had ONE covid case… so how does their mathematicians and strategists answer that ?
A better lockdown would be tier 2 and up lockdown, and not allowed to move travel or visit outside their tier area..
Boris says Bars, Pubs and Restaurants to close Thursday at MIDNIGHT… thought they were already closed by 10 PM… does that mean Thursday Pubs can stay open till midnight ??
As construction can carry on, is there anyone actually having work done and letting construction workers into their homes?
Pan meadows sites in ryde/ gunville building sites
Yes new builds should be safe to continue that’s a large portion of the construction industry and will save the government alot on furlough, but the work on existing properties, in people’s houses, is that classed as mixing households?
I would kiss the feet of a decent plumber. They’re fully booked till February.
That would be an unfortunate way to catch covid susie, look after yourself
I just hope people don’t panic and stock pile on food etc again, after the supermarkets gained control of the panic buying, there has been no shortages and everyone can buy the food they need. Makes me sick that people can be so selfish and not think of others
Sod others – I have been stocking up relentlessly
I still cant understand why so many holidaymakers were aloud to come over .. the ferry companies should have been forced to restrict people without a good reason ( work deliveries or medical) from coming here .
