More on Manx repatriation plans expected today

More details on how the government will bring Manx residents stranded overseas back to the Island are expected today.

Chief Minister, Howard Quayle MHK, announced in the online Tynwald sitting last Friday a scheme was being worked on to bring back residents who're stuck off-Island because of travel restrictions around the Coronavirus pandemic.

Currently the Islands borders are shut to all but key workers as part of the efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

During the sitting of the court, which was done via live audio link between members for the first time, Mr Quayle said he had to balance the needs of those stranded abroad with the safety of local people.
