Council of Ministers to consider changes to lockdown restrictions

Chief Minister expected to lead media briefing this afternoon

A meeting will take place today to consider whether the Island's current coronavirus measures can start to be relaxed.

The Council of Ministers will decide if recent Covid-19 test results mean restrictions on working outdoors can be lifted.

Chief Minister Howard Quayle also confirmed in Tynwald that changes to border policy on compassionate travel will be reviewed.

He says government's local elimination approach could change once more is known about the coronavirus vaccines:

Mr Quayle is due to update the public this afternoon. You'll be able to follow the media briefing live on Manx Radio, and watch the video on our social media pages.
