Education minister says self-swabbing isn't 'very sensitive'
The process being used in the UK for mass testing, particularly with students, is not something the Manx government is looking to take on board.
That's from Education Minister Dr Alex Allinson after Covid testing has been ramped up in England and Wales.
Tests for students could begin on 30 November, according to a letter from the universities minister to vice chancellors.
However Dr Allinson isn't convinced by the methods:
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
7:45pm Manxman crossing and its return have been called off
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Fayle jailed for 18 years and 9 months
Complaints process for health system changed
Patients told to direct concerns to service used
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
Manx Wild Bird Aid say it's a recurring problem in Peel
Charges now in place for those sending parcels to the EU
Changes have been introduced by EU rather than the IOMPO
