Any resident returning from Guernsey will now have to self-isolate for 14 days.

That's according to Chief Minister, Howard Quayle MHK, following the announcement the air bridge between the Isle of Man and Guernsey is being suspended with immediate effect following seven active Covid-19 cases being confirmed in Guernsey this week.

Mr Quayle says he feels the two-week quarantine is the safest thing to do at this time.

He adds the Manx government is working with airline Aurigny on how to bring Isle of Man residents back.
