We're being urged to stay at home to ring in the New Year.
Households in Jersey are not allowed to mix indoors.
Exceptions were made for Christmas Day and Boxing Day only - meaning none of the usual New Year's Eve or New Year's Day celebrations.
The government is reminding islanders that they must not go into other people's homes or gardens.
"Tonight we are asking you to #StayAtHomeforJSY"
