A Coronavirus case at the Island's prison and Covid-19 testing for key workers are among topics for debate in the House of Keys today.

There are 20 oral questions and 17 questions for written reply for MHK's to consider at the first session of the House since June.

Meanwhile, the two new MHK's for Douglas South, Paul Quine and Claire Christian, will be officially sworn in to their new positions after both were elected following a by-election in August.

Today's sitting is expected to get underway in Douglas from 10am.
