Government won't be making any 'immediate changes' to the Island's Coronavirus restrictions, following the news of a second lockdown in England.

Boris Johnson confirmed this weekend England will enter lockdown from this Thursday until roughly December 2.

In a statement yesterday, Manx government says the Isle of Man remains at level 4 of the borders framework.

It adds officials will continue to closely monitor virus levels in neighbouring jurisdictions, and the Council of Ministers will meet this week to discuss the developments in England.
