Changes to isolation measures from tonight

Mon, 26 Apr 2021


Isolation requirements are set to change on the Isle of Man from tonight.

Chief Minister Howard Quayle confirmed the changes during today's COVID-19 briefing.

He said: "We agreed that, also from tomorrow, anyone who is identified as being a high risk contact of someone who has tested positive for the virus but who lives in a different household now only needs to isolate for ten instead of fourteen days, again subject to entry and exit tests."

"These high risk contacts will also be able to leave the house for exercise once a day after they receive their first negative test result. Other people in the household of a high risk contact will no longer have to isolate if the high risk contact returns a negative test result."

"Vigilance here by everyone in the household of a high risk contact will be extremely important."

The changes come into force from one minute past midnight tonight into tomorrow morning and will apply retrospectively to those currently in isolation.
