Events cancelled and parents take own action
Isle of Man Government is in a position to close schools and ban large gatherings following its move to the delay phase to try and combat coronavirus.
However, Health Minister David Ashford says we are not in a position yet where these measures will be introduced.
Some Island events are being cancelled as a precaution despite official advice and Manx Radio has been contacted by a few parents who have decided to keep their children off school.
Health Minister David Ashford says he can't condone such action:-
'If you're going to enjoy the beach, take responsibility for your mess'
Tributes paid to mum who campaigned for mental health awareness
Paddleboarders rescued after being carried offshore
Firefighters save seagull stuck on M&S building
