Government publishes medium-term response to COVID-19

Mon, 04 May 2020

The Manx Government has published its 'exit strategy' on the coronavirus pandemic.

The 27-page document sets out the Government’s principles for dealing with COVID-19 in the medium term:

Protection of life
Maintaining critical national infrastructure
Maintaining public safety, confidence and welfare
Support a controlled return to normality, balancing social, economic and health impacts

Chief Minister Howard Quayle MHK said: “This document is important in providing our community with an understanding of the Government’s intended approach to dealing with COVID-19 here in the Isle of Man, in the medium term.

“It is important to stress that this is not a timeline, and that our approach may not be a linear, one-way process. Our phased approach allows the Isle of Man Government’s approach to flex, enabling us to move back and forth between phases if the evidence shows that there is a resurgence in COVID-19 cases here on the Island.”

The document called 'Stay Safe' will be debated by politicians in Tynwald tomorrow.
