Face coverings are 'matter of personal choice'

Fri, 06 Aug 2021

The Manx Government is strongly advising everyone on the Isle of Man to wear face coverings in crowded and enclosed spaces.

Chief Minister Howard Quayle said: "This remains a matter of personal choice, but the message here is about making the right decisions."

"And not just for you, but also for those around you and taking account of your choices in different situations. For example, on a bus, you may wish to wear a face covering as they can be crowded with limited ventilation."

"We are not out of this pandemic and whilst we continue our journey to learn to live with the virus, there cannot be a return to complete normality, only relative normality. And so we must continue to work together to prevent the spread of the virus."
