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:
VAT reduction on electricity extended
Extension announced by UK Chancellor in BudgetÂ
Some EU deliveries suspended 'until further notice'
Systems are not yet ready for changes to customs requirements
Manx actress to return to West End in April
The Greatest Showman will start theatre run in 2027
