Minister clarifies what 'at least' means
The Isle of Man will not be relaxing its coronavirus measures next week, the health and social care minister has clarified.
During Tynwald on Tuesday afternoon, David Ashford had announced that the Island's borders would remain closed for at least another month, and social distancing regulations until at least Thursday next week (23 April).
That prompted some people online to believe that meant an end to those regulations.
At Tuesday evening's media briefing he was keen to stress that was very much not the case, though:
Meanwhile, Health and Social Care CEO Kathryn Magson said the department hopes to open an on-Island testing facility at the start of next week:
Main road between Peel and Douglas to shut for tree felling
'Targeted and intelligence led approach' to protect Island's borders during Irish sailings
Airport Director role advertised with top salary of £120,000
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
