42 inmates tested after outbreak at Jurby
Twenty inmates at the Isle of Man Prison are currently infected with Covid-19.
A total of 42 prisoners had PCR tests yesterday after lateral flow devices identified several cases on Sunday.
Two wings are currently operating under the prison's black regime, with no visitors allowed at the facility.
Deputy governor Martin Phillips says it's the ninth time the prison has locked down since the start of the pandemic, but those affected understand the need for measures:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
