Gov't confirms self-isolation won't be enforced
Steam Packet staff have welcomed clarification on self-isolation rules for Manx based crew.
Government has confirmed it won’t enforce isolation on those off duty.
It follows confusion over the direction notice issued to the company - and whether staff should have been self-isolating - since the Covid-19 pandemic began.
Chris Bowen, the chief officer of the Ben-my-Chree, told Manx Radio they had always been under the impression they weren’t restricted when on leave:

'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
Drone users reminded not to fly devices during Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix course closures
'The Island needs to be able to compete' against other destinations
Public urged to consult on capacity
