Aims are to get results back more quickly
It's hoped coronavirus tests will be processed on-Island by the middle of next month.
Health and Social Care Minister David Ashford made the announcement during yesterday afternoon's media briefing, when it was also revealed there are now 13 confirmed cases in the Isle of Man.
Currently, it's taking about 72 hours to get results back, as the samples are being sent to the UK for analysis.
Mr Ashford says plans are in place to speed up the process:
Manx Care forecasting £8.1m overspend for 2026-27
Staffing costs, homelessness and underdelivery of savings among factors affecting finances
Tynwald to be asked to approve horse tram tracks funding
Infrastructure minister will ask for £2.5million for project
Former Manx Airlines boss 'concerned' over potential easyJet takeover
Airline agrees in principle to £5.7 billion takeover bid
Number of roads to close in preparation for King's visit
His Majesty King Charles III arriving on Tuesday (14 July)
