Construction sector and garden centres to re-open

Thu, 01 Apr 2021

The Manx Government has announced the construction sector will be allowed to resume outdoor work from Tuesday 6th April.

Chief Minister Howard Quayle said: "For construction that is outdoors, this can resume as long as good practice on social distancing and face coverings is respected."

"Some work that is indoors is already permitted. Given the difference in risk between outdoors and indoors, we are only going to change the measures slightly."

"From 6 April, we are ready to raise the limit for work on a vacant property to one person per room. Again, rules on social distancing and the use of face coverings must be respected to ensure a safe working environment."

Mr Quayle also confirmed garden centres across the Island would be allowed to re-open and trade from 6th April. Social distancing must be in place and face coverings are strongly recommended.
