Coronavirus COVID-19

The Isle of Canna’s community response to COVID-19

(Updated 25th May 2021)

​

The Isle of Canna is a small and remote community of 18 people. We have few facilities, are distant from medical support and have elderly and vulnerable residents.

​

During the current pandemic, we continue to work together as a community to ensure our own health and wellbeing, and that of visitors too, as we move through to the next phase.

​

We still require your help to do this and whilst visitors are welcome, we ask that you pay particular attention to hand hygiene and social distancing. ​

​

Paying for moorings: if you are using one of the community moorings, payment of £15.00 per night can be made via Paypal – address ‘theisleofcanna@gmail’, via the website link at the bottom of the website or with cash in Canna Community Shop.
