Two new cases of COVID-19 have been detected in the Isle of Man over the last 24 hours.
Both cases were detected in day 1 tests in individuals who were already isolating following travel to the Island. Their isolation period continues and further tests will be offered.
Chief Minister Howard Quayle MHK commented:
‘These instances are absolutely expected. The individuals have done everything right, followed guidance and kept our community safe.
‘Cases such as this do not signify a community spread of the virus and therefore do not affect our proposed end to lockdown on 1 February.’
The current number of active cases of COVID-19 on the Island is 29.
