Partial easing of care home visiting restrictions

Visitors allowed from next week

There's to be a partial easing of care home visiting rules next week (starting 19 April).

It's as the Island is due to exit its third coronavirus lockdown.

The Department of Health and Social Care says restrictions around Manx Care residential homes will be fully lifted from Monday, 26 April.

In-patients at Noble's Hospital and Manannan Court are to be allowed visitors from next week, but restrictions may still remain in certain areas as a phased return to normal takes place.
