Five hospitalised due to the virus
Five people are receiving hospital treatment for Covid-19 on the Isle of Man.
The health minister has told Manx Radio that he understands the patients were admitted because of Covid – rather than with it.
One of those people is in the intensive care unit.
Chief Minister Howard Quayle says he also expects hospitalisations to rise:
House of Keys officially dissolved
Six weeks until the Island goes to the polls
Students collecting A-Level results
Teenagers sat exams earlier this year
Further TT course closures for filming
'Isle of Man' production heads west
Aspects of Manx Grand Prix 'extremely challenging' to organise
But organisers feeling positive ahead of 2026 event
