Covid cases now over 400

Government updates figures with eight people in hospital

There are now 419 active cases of Covid-19 on the Isle of Man.

At the media briefing earlier, a figure of 56 new positive tests was given which was questioned by a journalist.

It was claimed Tynwald members had been told the figure was likely to be over 100.

The new figure issued by Isle of Man Government shows 110 new cases.

Government says given the current high volume of testing, verifying the numbers is taking longer.

There are 8 people being treated in hospital.

It means the Island has seen a total of 865 cases since the start of the pandemic nearly a year ago.

176 people are waiting to be tested and 1 result is outstanding.
