Chief Minister calls for 'national effort' to tackle Covid spread
The Isle of Man must prepare itself for a 'difficult few weeks', according to the Chief Minister.
Alfred Cannan says it will require a 'national effort' to tackle the spread of Covid-19, adding the Omicron variant is now assumed to be the dominant strain locally.
The increase in Coronavirus cases is affecting staffing across the Island including in healthcare, with visiting being restricted in Manx Care settings from today (31 December).
Mr Cannan says the Council of Ministers will continue to monitor the situation over the coming days:
