BBCThree hospital wards have been closed to visitors in Jersey in a bid to stop the spread of Covid cases.
There are 51 patients in hospital with coronavirus, the highest number since the pandemic started, said officials.
Two wards have been shut at Jersey General Hospital and one at St Saviour's Hospital.
