Plea from education minister after capacity reached
Parents are being urged not to send their children to school today unless they are key workers.
It’s after classes almost reached capacity on the first day of the circuit breaker lockdown.
674 pupils attended primary schools and 92 turned up to secondary schools.
The education minister says only those whose parents have jobs critical to the Covid-19 response should utilise hub places.
However Dr Alex Allinson admits he understands the pressures that parents, and their children, are under:
Mountain Road to stay closed overnight
Horse Tramway business case 'under final review'
BMA finds less than a quarter of doctors recommend working at Manx Care
Thirteen people entered or tried to enter the Island without immigration permission since January 2025
Abuse towards bus drivers 'will not be tolerated'
