A long-term solution will be debated by the States at the end of April.

The minister for economic development and minister for social security are due to announce further details later.

A total of 12 people have now tested positive for the coronavirus in Jersey.

There have been 372 negative test results returned.

The Government of Jersey said it was waiting on 38 test results.

The Muratti Vase final between Jersey and Guerney or Alderney is postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak.

The inability to test everyone on the island comes down to "capacity", Chief Minister John Le Fondre said.

"It's a new virus, so in other words getting the technology... to do the testing has taken time."

Senator Le Fondre said the backlog of results for Jersey was because of daily limits on the number of tests that UK laboratories would test.

The UK would continue to conduct tests and "deal with the backlog" until on-island testing was put in place, he added.

Mr Le Fondre said a domestic testing facility would be in place "in a matter of weeks", but couldn't give an exact time frame.

"If we get it on-island, we can reduce the delay [to getting results] to a matter of hours," he added.

Chief Minister John Le Fondre said "draconian" powers to make avoiding self-isolation illegal were not being put in place "for fun".

"If you're isolation, you're there because there's a specific risk and we're trying to make sure that you stay isolated.

"And that hopefully does not put other people's lives in danger," he added.

However, Senator Le Fondre emphasised the mechanism to enforce isolation must be put in place democratically and the law had to be written "properly".

"I think the assembly so far has demonstrated it is willing to move fast."

Chief Minister John Le Fondre said the island is pursuing a "strategy specific to Jersey", based on the advice of professionals.

The policy is driven by models using data and statistics emerging from other jurisdictions, Senator Le Fondre added.

He emphasised that Jersey was not "behind" the UK in terms of its strategy, but was based on the "timing of the medical advice" the States was getting.

"Because the UK is doing something today, it's specific to their circumstances.

"We don't necessarily have to do it today, but we might be doing it next week," Mr Le Fondre added.

A legal means to enforce self-isolation of islanders suspected of having coronavirus will be put before the States, Chief Minister John Le Fondre says.

Senator Le Fondre added he hoped the legislation would go before the States Assembly on Friday and come into force next week.

Currently the instruction to self-isolate is "voluntary" for arrivals since Friday, but "very strongly advised".

Mr Le Fondre said they were bringing the "next stage of enforcement, where people can be compelled", but they also wanted to avoid "fatigue" over restrictions in Jersey.

"One of the things you don't do is you don't clamp down too quickly if you don't need to."

What is understood to be the first arrest of someone failing to self-isolate occurred in the Isle of Man.
