Petition calls for Covid-19 testing at airport and sea terminal

A petition has been launched calling for Covid-19 testing to be brought in at the Isle of Man Airport and Sea Terminal.

It's been set up by Ramsey Grammar School headteacher, Annette Baker.

Annette believes the government needs to invest in more sophisticated testing facilities at the Manx borders and has to do more to prepare for greater numbers coming back in the future.

Current border restrictions here mean returning residents must have a Manx Entry Permit to come back and non-residents can only arrive with a valid exemption certificate with both subject to strict quarantine rules.
