Four Rock Project students test positive for Covid-19

Close contacts isolating following cases at Tuesday session

A music school on the Island says four of its students have tested positive for coronavirus.

Rock Project Isle of Man decided to cancel its Thursday showcase after a student's close contact was found to have Covid-19.

In a statement, the group says that student has since tested positive, while a further three have also been found to have the virus following contact tracing.

Rock Project stresses that the initial case was detected in the final session on Tuesday, so those who attended earlier in the day are not affected, and a number of close contacts are now isolating.

A total of 13 cases have been confirmed on the Island since Thursday, all of which have been linked to a Steam Packet worker who tested positive.
