On Saturday, Guernsey reached the milestone of 100
days with no new confirmed cases of Covid-19 within its Bailiwick.
Guernsey Finance Chief Executive Rupert Pleasant reflects on how
the island's finance industry has responded to the pandemic and
continued to operate 'business as usual'.
Guernsey was one of the first places in the British Isles to
come out of 'lockdown', having pursued a strategy of
'test, trace and quarantine'. Apart from strict border
controls, life here has been more or less back to normal for seven
weeks, with no social distancing and no face masks worn in daily
activity.
Despite the difficulties of lockdown, experienced globally,
Guernsey's financial sector has shone as an example of
stability.
