More than 400 pay for coronavirus test

Returning residents can request screening after seven days

More than 400 people have paid for a coronavirus test since changes to rules for returning residents came into force last week.

Those coming back to the Isle of Man can pay £50 for Covid-19 screening after seven days of self-isolation, and face fewer restrictions in their second week of quarantine if the test is negative.

Since the changes came into force last Monday, 402 people have paid for a test.

There are currently three active cases of coronavirus on the Island, all among residents who have been isolating.
