New facility means results will be known within 24 hours
Being able to test on Island for coronavirus will help limit the spread of the illness in the Manx community.
That's according to Health Minister David Ashford after the testing facility at Noble's Hospital came online yesterday morning.
It means the results of those swabbed for Covid-19 will find out if they have the condition within 24 hours.
Mr Ashford says it's a huge boost in the fight against coronavirus:
