Ashford says health department monitoring situation
The health minister says urgent treatment for Island patients will continue at hospitals in the Liverpool city area.
The region has been placed under tighter restrictions because of a surge in coronavirus cases and admissions.
David Ashford admits the situation across the water is worrying but says strict regimes are in place to seperate Covid-19 wards from other hospital areas.
He states people with more serious conditions remain the top priority:
Steam Packet sailings cancelled as strong winds and rough seas forecast
Public Health urges residents to take steps to stay well this winter
Black ice warnings issued as police report hazardous road conditions
Douglas Council opts against low-noise fireworks after review
