England has now also dropped PCR policy
The chief minister says the Isle of Man has led the way on using lateral flow tests for monitoring Covid-19.
The need to confirm positive tests with a PCR was dropped here in December - a policy now in place in the UK.
People there have experienced shortages when trying to order the home testing kits.
Alfred Cannan says the Island remains unaffected:
