Two new cases of COVID-19 have been detected in the Isle of Man over the last 24 hours.

Both cases were detected in day 1 tests in individuals who were already isolating following travel to the Island. Their isolation period continues and further tests will be offered.

Chief Minister Howard Quayle MHK commented:

‘These instances are absolutely expected. The individuals have done everything right, followed guidance and kept our community safe.

‘Cases such as this do not signify a community spread of the virus and therefore do not affect our proposed end to lockdown on 1 February.’

The current number of active cases of COVID-19 on the Island is 29.
