Although lockdown measures are set to be relaxed this weekend, the core message is still that people should stay at home as much as they can.
In line with new regulations, which will come into place at 00:01 on Saturday, some non-essential low risk workers will be able to return to their jobs.
But there will still be strict rules in place, with fines of up to £10,000 for those who break them.
"We are in a very good place right now, but we simply cannot afford to be complacent with this virus," said Deputy Gavin St Pier. "We have, probably against the odds, managed to remain in the contain phase of the pandemic.
"Here in the Bailiwick, we are now operating within 28,000 to 30,000 household bubbles. The rock solid safest option would be to maintain a full lockdown in our household bubbles until the virus either burns itself out or a vaccine is developed. Of course, by that time the Bailiwick's entire social and economic fabric would be in ruins, so that simply is not an option.

"Those who can safely be allowed to restart their economic activity will effectively be allowed to move from their household bubble to their work bubble and back again, but no more than that."
Many of the lockdown restrictions will stay the same, although we are likely to see more traffic on the roads as some people return to work.
"We are in a very good place," said President of Health & Social Care, Deputy Heidi Soulsby. "Because we took action early and thanks to the fantastic support from islanders as 'Guernsey Together', the curve has been flattened.
"This isn't business as usual and neither is it life as normal just yet. The key message still continues to be stay at home if you can.
"It's important to understand that what we have decided does not change our core messaging and the following will not change:
"We are in a great place at the moment but we need to ensure, as we ease our way through the exit strategy, that we continue to be in control and we continue to be 'Guernsey Together'."

The loosening of the measures are Phase Two of the exit strategy, which has been split into four parts.
The first was allowing non-essential home deliveries while the second will see low risk workers return to their jobs. Although there is no set date for the last two phases, the third is expected to include free movement around the island while restrictions on our borders remain, and the fourth will return us to the 'new normal'.
"The key message has to be, so long as we follow Public Health guidance, the stay at home message, and so long as we continue with the strategy, we should be able to avoid ever getting to the stage where our healthcare system is overwhelmed and our medical professionals have to be faced with those horrendous decisions," added Deputy St Pier.
However, if there are any signs of the corona virus situation worsening during the exit strategy, Public Health will immediately put the Bailiwick back into firm lockdown.
"What I'd like to emphasise as we move forward is the core message remains stay at home," said Director of Public Health, Dr Nicola Brink. "It is saving lives. If you look at where we are, we are flattening the curve and that's really important as we move forward.
"We want people to stick with us on this journey and stay at home."
Further announcements will be made in a media briefing at 13:00 today, which will be live streamed on the States of Guernsey Facebook page.
