The Chief Minister has apologised for 'missed opportunities' following the Steam Packet COVID-19 outbreak back in February.
Howard Quayle delivered a statement in the House of Keys today after a indenpendet review was published.
A series of recommendations were made in the report which the Council of Ministers accepted.
Mr Quayle said: "As I said at the point of publication of the report last week, the difference of opinion that emerged in February as to the Steam Packet’s COVID-19 mitigations was concerning and I therefore asked for a report, to establish the facts. It was important we understood what additional measures were needed to reduce the risk of the virus entering our Island, and to ensure any lessons to prevent a recurrence were learned."
"It is clear that we didn’t get everything right, and the report confirms that. We weren’t always as joined-up as we should have been and mistakes were made."
"It was clear following the initial case and the subsequent issue around isolation of IOM crew members that there had been confusion and misunderstandings and the findings of the review confirm this."
