Island based Steam Packet worker tests positive for Covid

Company says contact tracing underway

An Isle of Man based Steam Packet crew member has tested positive for Covid-19 and is now in self-isolation.

The company has confirmed contact tracing is underway and a handful of other staff have been told to self-isolate.

It follows confirmation last week that a UK-based member of the Ben-my-Chree crew tested positive while off duty.

Both people are said to not be in "passenger facing" roles.
