A number of sports and recreational activities will be allowed to resume this weekend on Island following the relaxation of restrictions.
Bowls and coarse fishing will restart tomorrow followed by archery, shooting and paddle-sports on Sunday.
Just like recreational fishing and golf the activities can only be played on your own or with members of the same household and social distancing rules must be followed.
Anyone displaying COVID-19 symptoms, sharing a house with someone displaying symptoms, or required to self-isolate should not take part.
Bowls, archery and shooting will restart for club members and people who arrange prior permission to play on Saturday. People are asked to avoid all unnecessary contact with people from other households and wash their hands before and after the activity.
Anglers also need prior permission to go coarse fishing at the Island’s only facility, Sunset Lakes in Peel. Once permission is granted a time slot will be granted to access a designated platform and people can fish alone or with up to three people from the same household.
Any equipment used must be sterilised after use and not shared with others.
Paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing will also restart for people with their own equipment. People are asked to consider their own personal fitness and experience level prior to taking to the water, limit their paddle to two hours or less, and maintain the limited distance from the shore. People will also be allowed to use Mooragh Lake but spaces will be limited and can be arranged through the Venture Centre.
The Manx Government has confirmed further sports are also being considered and announcements will be made over the coming days and weeks as guidance details are finalised.
