Good Evening T Cut.
As it happens we have been fortunate. With a population of 27000 we've had 6 (yes, Six) confirmed cases. Great thing about Islands is you can limit travel quite effectively. Caledonian MacBrayne have turned away anything other than essential travellers since the end of March.
I work in Dental, and with our reduced service we've been hosting the Covid Swabbing centre downstairs. From speaking to the medics most days we haven't had a positive Test for more than 6 weeks!
A big relief, as we have an unusually elderly population. Covid here would be a disaster. Most of the patients I see are care home residents, and we have to be fairly careful how we go about visits. The Isle of Skye had a dreadful outbreak in one of their homes.
Look after yourself!
