Covid border rule change comes into effect

Covid testing rules for international travellers returning to the Isle of Man have now changed.

Fully vaccinated people arriving on the Isle of Man from an international destination are no longer required to take a Covid-19 PCR test.

The easing of rules came into effect at 00:01 today (Tuesday).

Those arriving from outside the Common Travel Area are now required to take a lateral flow test within 12 hours of arrival instead.

They are asked to avoid public indoor spaces until the test is taken and the result submitted online.

Those who are unvaccinated must still isolate for seven days and take a PCR test.
