Gov't payment for those in isolation

From Monday, those who are unable to work due to testing positive for Covid-19 can receive a £300 payment from the government.

The Manx Isolation Payment will apply to those whose isolation period begins on or after January 10, with the online application form becoming available on January 14.

The lump-sum will be available to people earning at least £120 a week and self-employed people who pay class 2 National Insurance, but not those who will receive more than half pay while isolating.  

More information can be found on the government website.
