Too many people are still coming into workplaces says CM

The Chief Minister has raised concerns over the number of unexplained coronavirus cases on Island.

17 new cases have been detected on the Isle of Man in the last 24 hours.

During today's COVID-19 briefing, Howard Quayle said: "Our Director of Public Health told us last week about one possible reason relating to what might be a long incubation period for the Kent variant. But beyond that, now that that we have been in this latest lockdown for nearly three weeks, we should not be seeing these unexplained, unlinked cases unless people are not following the rules.

"We know that there has been spread because of people going to work with symptoms."

"The volume of traffic still on our roads suggests that too many people are still coming into workplaces."
