Covid numbers in hospital 'significantly reduced' after recent spike

Update from Manx Care after mask wearing re-introduced earlier this month

Manx Care says Covid-19 numbers in hospital have significantly reduced in recent days, after it recorded a spike over the last fortnight.

Two weeks ago there was just a single case in hospital, that figure increased to 13 by the start of this week.

The health body says it hasn't recorded any Covid-related deaths in hospital during that time.

Mask wearing was re-introduced in patient facing clinical areas at both Noble's and Ramsey Cottage hospitals on 15 September.
