Dr Allinson says CoMin was guided by data
Education Minister Dr Alex Allinson has defended the timing of the decision to enter the last lockdown in early March.
He was appearing before Tynwald's Social Affairs Policy Review Committee.
The chair, Onchan MHK Julie Edge, questioned why the lockdown wasn't announced on Saturday 27 February when people were urged to cancel events and stay at home.
Dr Allinson says not enough data was known at that time:
Cocaine dealer targeted in stabbing sentenced
Suspended sentence for woman who admitted dealing cocaine
Former minister brands scrapping of MiCards 'unforgivable'
Payment method is being withdrawn at the end of the year
Treasury 'content' with Steam Packet oversight arrangements
The ferry operator's sole shareholder says the current set-up provides sufficient control
Staff at Noble's Hospital thanked for sacrificing Christmas Day
Doctors, housekeepers, porters and catering teams among those who'll be working this year
