Visiting has been suspended temporarily at Isle of Man Prison after a small number of prisoners in one wing were identified as Covid positive.
The decision has been taken by the prison governor in the interest of the safety of prisoners, staff and the community.
All prisoners, staff and close contacts are now being offered tests.
The wing has been placed in the Black regime, which restricts the amount of time offenders can spend outside their cells. The Red regime is operating in the rest of the prison, allowing the wings to operate a normal regime in their own wing bubble.
Both regimes were deployed during the pandemic in 2020 to avoid transmission of the virus in an enclosed environment, to allow for enhanced cleaning and to reduce the risk of illness among staff leading to potential operational difficulties.
The suspension of prison visiting will be kept under regular review.
