Self Quarantine

We are in self quarantine at our house.  The driving instructor, whom we spent two hours with in a car, tested positive for Covid.  Our friends, whom we had dinner with the evening of the driving test, are also in self quarantine because of our close contact. 

We are in day six of our ten-day quarantine.  We have no symptoms, other than boredom. Our neighbors have brought supplies to us and leave them at our door step.  We are doing fine and are not sick.  Just sick or being home 24/7.

The island Covid count is up to 850.  Higher than when the pandemic closed the island.  About a quarter of the cases are tourists.  I find that interesting since a negative test is required for entry as well as a test after five days on the island. Cruise ships have been turned away because of positive Covid tests on board.  Restrictions on the number of people in stores, restaurants and sporting events are in full swing.

We tried home delivery for pizza.  It's called Dinner in a Box. It took two and a half hours for the delivery to make it to us after we placed our order. The delivery person told us that they are short staffed due to Covid illnesses, that the island is very busy, and everything take longer now because they have more tourists on the island and less people to serve them.  It's not like they were speedy before this spike in Covid cases.

We still hope to take our driving test later this month.  We hope that the government does not shut down like it did when we first got on the island.

At least, we are quarantined on an island paradise.
