Hospitality sector asked but not required to close following unexplained cases
Pubs, bars and nightclubs aren't legally required to close tonight, but licensees are being asked to stay shut.
The Isle of Man Government confirmed at this afternoon's media briefing that the hospitality sector will not face prosecution if premises remain open this evening.
Nine further cases of Covid-19 were identified this afternoon, with two currently unable to be linked to the recent cluster.
Health Minister David Ashford says he expects it to be a quiet evening:
