Unvaccinated Manx residents won’t be required to be tested or isolate after returning from the UK.

From Thursday September 16 residents who have not received a Covid-19 vaccine will face no restrictions returning home after travelling within the common travel area, which includes England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands.

Government will continue to monitor the impact of coronavirus in the community and hopes measures can be safely eased for non-Manx residents in the future.
