COVID-19: Border restrictions to ease this week

The Isle of Man's border restrictions are set to ease this week.

From Thursday unvaccinated Manx residents will not be required to test or isolate after returning to the island.

The changes apply to those who have travelled within the common travel area- which includes England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands.

However, the requirement to fill out a landing form will remain.

The Isle of Man government said scanners are being installed at the borders to help 'streamline' arrivals, allowing vaccinated visitors to scan vaccination QR codes.  

The rules for those arriving on the island who have travelled from green and amber list countries remain the same.

Peel harbour will also be partially reopened on Thursday- a spokesman said there will be limited windows for docking and booking will be required.
