  • Frequently Asked Questions About Visiting the Isles of Scilly in Relation to COVID19 What Should I Think About When Visiting
    Frequently Asked Questions about Visiting the Isles of Scilly in relation to COVID19 We are delighted to welcome you to the Isles of Scilly and hope you have a lovely holiday experiencing our glorious beaches, clear blue water and excellent hospitality. We are a small island community, with limited infrastructure and health care services. Excellent as they are, there are only a few of us running them, so we need to make sure we protect our key workers for the benefit of both you and our local community. We understand that you are keen to have a holiday but please remember your individual responsibility to keep yourself and others safe whilst staying with us on Scilly. Please find some information below from the Council of the Isles of Scilly and our public health colleagues in response to frequently asked questions. If you have any queries please email [email protected] What should I think about when visiting the islands? Please consider the following; Travel by private transport on your mainland leg of the journey avoiding public transport. If you need to be evacuated, you will not be able to return home on public transport from Penzance. Travel accommodation providers will be asking you to carry your own luggage, so you might want to consider bringing more smaller items of luggage rather than one big heavy suitcase. Bring a face covering/mask - these are now mandatory on Skybus, Scillonian III and Penzance Helicopters, shuttle buses & boats. Bring some hand sanitiser, there will also be some hand sanitiser stations across the islands.
