Health minister downplays effectiveness
There's no evidence to suggest bringing in screening tests at the Island's ports for coronavirus will work to prevent the spread of the outbreak.
That's from the health minister, David Ashford.
There are no confirmed cases on the Isle of Man - 17 tests have been conducted so far, which have all come back negative.
Mr Ashford says that while plans are being made to tackle the problem, screening tests aren't effective:
