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:

Border Agency 'absolutely required' says Island's chief constable
DoI 'working closely' with Steam Packet to assess impact of Manxman withdrawal
