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:
TT footbridge construction to close road
Police name biker who died in Ballamodha crash
Peel cars return home
Benefits claimant abused staff
Euro game road closures approved
Whale and Dolphin watching event on Sunday
Northern lights a possibility this weekend
Can we use the UK NHS app?
