Hooper challenges government to reconsider approach
Tynwald has agreed a 'robust and speedy system of genomic testing is vital in the fight against' Covid-19.
Members voted unanimously to support a motion by Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper, following a debate on the issue.
Tests are currently sequenced in Liverpool despite an offer from a Manx company to do them on Island for free.
In a lengthy debate, Mr Hooper called for government to learn from previous experiences:
General Election candidate charged with harassment
Prospective Onchan MHK appears at Douglas Courthouse
Four new homes planned for Santon
Approval in principle was granted earlier this year
Manxman parts being repaired in Denmark
Will 'shortly return to the UK' for reinstallation
"We're watching you" warning for OCGs trafficking drugs to Island
Constabulary's work won't stop says DI recognised for 'exemplary service'
