Guernsey air bridge suspended

The air bridge between the Isle of Man and Guernsey is being suspended with immediate effect.

The move has been confirmed by officials from both Crown Dependencies during press briefings this afternoon.

It comes as Guernsey has confirmed the number of known active cases there has risen to seven.

Chief Minister, Howard Quayle MHK, says he understands this will come as 'bitterly disappointing' news for those who'd booked to travel, efforts will be made to help Manx residents return home and that the suspension will remain under review.
