A patient died at the Isle of Wight's hospital on March 19, after contracting Covid-19, according to the latest information from the NHS.

The death on the wards at St Mary's means 238 people have now died in hospital on the Island since the coronavirus pandemic started, in March 2020.

Today is the two year anniversary of the start of the first lockdown. 

New cases are currently high in all age groups here, with 30 to 34 year-olds worst affected, on average.

There were 1,890 new cases in the seven days to March 22.

The Island's average rate, per 100,000 over the seven days to March 17, was 1,263.6, compared to a UK average of 850.

What the the current Covid rules in England?

Since February 24, people in England are not legally required to self-isolate after testing positive for Covid-19, however the government is advising us to stay at home if we can, avoiding contact with other people.

It also ended its financial support scheme - the Test and Trace Support Payments - but claims for self-isolation before that date can still be made, until April 6.

People who are in close contact with those who have tested positive are not legally required to take daily tests, or to self-isolate.

Since March 18, travellers have not needed to take Covid-19 tests, or fill in a passenger locator form, when travelling to the UK from abroad.

From April 1, under Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Live with Covid plan, most of us will have to pay for lateral flow tests and PCR tests.
