But says PCR in all cases would cause 'administration issues'
The Isle of Man does have the capacity to cope with increased Covid-19 testing according to the chief minister.
People travelling to the Island, from the Common Travel Area, are now asked to take a lateral flow test within 12-hours of arrival.
Anyone coming from outside the CTA must take a PCR test within 48-hours and isolate until they get their result.
Alfred Cannan says this is a workable system:
Procedures at Noble's Hospital cancelled due to 'significant pressures'
Manx Care experiencing 'very high demand'
Medical Society calls for 'statutory elected body' as chief exec exits Manx Care
IOMMS says it's 'essential that the momentum for fundamental reform is maintained'
