Health Minister, David Ashford MHK, insists government moved as fast as it could to implement the latest lockdown measures.
The 21-day circuit break, which came into force just after Midnight, was announced yesterday in response to unexplained Covid-19 cases across the Island over the last few days.
When asked about whether the restrictions were brought in quick enough, Mr Ashford stated the Council of Ministers was working into the night on Sunday and into Monday to get the rules drawn up and the legislation in place.
He also stated there's another important factor which had to be considered over how Coronavirus cases can present:
Passport and immigration public counters to temporarily close
Overnight delay means today's sailings will set off late
Fireworks displays to kick off with event tonight
Second night of police roadside car checks finds less defects
