Two self-isolating cases of Covid-19 have been identified on Island today.
Health and Social Care Minister, David Ashford MHK, confirms both were travel-related and both individuals are already in quarantine.
Their isolation period continues and further tests will be offered.
Chief Minister, Howard Quayle MHK, says: "These instances are absolutely expected. The individuals have done everything right, followed guidance and kept our community safe.
"Cases such as this do not signify a community spread of the virus and therefore do not affect our proposed end to lockdown on 1 February."
Meanwhile, it's now 17 days in a row with no evidence of any community transmission of the virus.
The total number of active cases on Manx shores stands at 29.
