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:
Island's economy 'not in the same context' it was 18 months ago
Chief minister says things have improved
Inmate 'likely died hours before being found'
Craig Anderson was found in his cell in November 2022
Roadshow turnout shows public has 'lots of concern'
Criticism over absence of Treasury and format of event
CCTV across schools being actively looked at
