Online petition calls for COVID-19 testing at airport and sea terminal

Wed, 30 Sep 2020

There are calls for COVID-19 testing to be introduced for people arriving on Island via air and sea travel.

A petition has been started by resident Annette Baker. The headteacher at Ramsey Grammar School is calling on the Manx Government to invest in testing facilities at the Isle of Man Airport and Sea Terminal.

Mrs Baker says it would help prepare for greater numbers coming back to the Island of Man in the future.

Currently, only residents with a Manx Entry Permit can return to the Island. Non-residents require an exemption certificate and to follow quarantine rules.
