Tynwald commits ministers to expand its membership
Tynwald has told government to include outside experts on its internal Covid advisory group.
All recommendations made by the joint clinical and public health group must also be made public as part of a series of commitments voted through by the Court.
It's after an amendment by Douglas East MHK Claire Barber to a motion put forward by Douglas Central Member Chris Thomas. The third part of Mrs Barber's amendment was the wording of one put forward by Health Minister David Ashford.
This was backed by the Council of Ministers and voted through unanimously.

Tynwald also expressed regret that government hadn't allowed a debate on the subject - although Mrs Barber says that wasn't a criticism:
Planning application for onshore wind farm still being developed
Motorcyclist suffered fatal chest injuries in crash
Trial for trio accused of producing Class A drugs to Island
Too early for 'direct action' over cost-of-living concerns says chief minister
Government gives assurance as inflation soars
