Plan to use accommodation to help with self-isolation
The education department is contacting all Manx university students to see when they are planning to return home for Christmas.
Minister Dr Alex Allinson says it will help government plan a smooth home-coming.
He also revealed talks are taking place with the hospitality sector to accommodate those who can't safely self-isolate at home for 14 days.
Dr Allinson is hoping the Island rallies to support students who have faced unprecedented conditions:
Broadband provider's licensed revoked by CURA
Restaurant worker in £85k incapacity benefit fraud
People urged to share their thoughts on Island's Mental Health Service
Manx Care interim operations director to leave next month
Almost 38,000 passengers used ferry services to travel to Island during TT
