#COVID19 restrictions in the #Falklands have largely been implemented by largely unenforceable guidance that has largely been followed ... but legislation is on its way now 
The new #COVID19 in the #Falklands will be adapted from the UK legislation but it appears an important lesson has been learned from the UK experience:
#FalklandIslands authorities really do seem to have been paying attention to lessons that can be learned from UK experience with lockdown regs - no fixed penalty scheme and prosecutions only in most serious cases
And @davidallengreen will be pleased that about the recognition that a #Falklands version of the #COVID19 lockdown should be enforced as a public health matter, not a public order one:
And @AdamWagner1 and others would be pleased with the Human Rights theme (including a balance between the right to freedom of movement and the right to life) running through the ExCo paper on a possible #Falklands #COVID19 lockdown
The #Falklands #COVID19 lockdown regulations include a two stage mechanism: the new regulations will be put into place and then the restrictions can be activated as required by the Governor declaring an emergency period ...
At the moment, the only confirmed #COVID19 cases in the #FalklandIslands have been on the MPC military base and there have been none elsewhere, including in Stanley where most of the #Falklands population lives ...
At yesterday's q and a session for invited media, the talk was of possible relaxation of restrictions for the time being (and some of the guidance has already been adjusted both tighter and looser), but the lockdown legislation is being got ready!
One wrinkle is that the #Falklands draft regs put before Executive Council yesterday do not reflect the latest UK amendments, so they are still based on reasonable excuse to leave home, not to be outside of it - that may change before the regs are made by the Governor ...
