Chair questions current Covid rules
A representative of pubs on the Island has echoed calls for more salary support for Manx businesses.
Geoff Joughin is chair of the Licensed Victuallers Association and owner of the Albert Hotel in Douglas.
He says although current restrictions mean close contacts don't need to self isolate, keeping pubs open where staff have tested positive for Covid-19 doesn't make sense.
Mr Joughin thinks as long as pubs and bars feel compelled to shut their doors government should be providing more salary support:
Skills Strategy hopes to tackle 'significant' skills shortage
Loganair to remove Saturday service to Birmingham
Trial for Douglas man who denies keying car
Southern Pool board welcomes assurances over site's future
Looneys of Ramsey to close
Future of Belfast flights 'precarious' due to low passenger numbers
