Protect the Isle IOW Wight residents. (30%+ of which are elderly). Protect the limited NHS resources on the Island and restrict travel to essential only! KEEP THE ISLAND FOR THE ISLAND RESIDENTS ONLY!)

Control the borders to control the spread and then measures can be investigated properly

It is very important that holiday makers/second home owners are not allowed yet to keep Island safe.

The NHS app will not work if we don’t stop non essential travel to the island.

Yeah, the mainlanders are all infected. Everyone on the Island is clean. F the economy.

What a wanker you are Mark Jefferies. Maybe you should go and live on your own private Island so no one infects you. I suspect you have no need for an Island economy as you probably living off your pathetic pension.

This needs to be done as being an Island we are protected to a degree, having tourists here means we won't be.

Shame tourist weren’t stopped before the lockdown or tested before they came from mainland then maybe we wouldn’t have so many deaths and confirmed cases on island

Try your best to stop people coming over here, putting us at risk when we may well be the first to ease lockdown measure, and spike the deaths again!

Interestingly when l suggested freight only and essential passenger ferries at the start of the lockdown, I was ridiculed. Let's stay safe until we know it's safe to travel from and to the Island.

Isolate the Island aside from essential travel.

Living in Ventnor I notice a lot of second home owners have taken refuge here and holidaymakers have been arriving since lockdown!! It is not right!!!
