DESC says case figures aren't shared with schools
An Onchan MHK believes schools would have closed sooner if coronavirus testing data had been shared with the education department.
Julie Edge asked for a breakdown of Covid cases by school in this month's sitting of Tynwald.
She was told that information isn't made available to the department of education, sport and culture.
Almost a third of the cases confirmed on the Island, since 15 February, have been in those aged 19 or younger.
Ms Edge says a different decision may have been taken if all the information had been made available:
Glen Maye patient airlifted to the UK
Trial for man who denies being controlling and coercive
Visitors asked to avoid main cemetery entrance on Sunday
Onchan man accused of committing act against public justice
Douglas Council using reserves to pay for 'decorative' promenade lighting
New count system used for PSM by-election
