Two more Covid-19 deaths recorded on Island

Total since start of pandemic rises to 73

Two further Covid-19 deaths have been recorded on the Isle of Man in the last week.

It takes the total since the start of the pandemic to 73.

The figures published in this week's surveillance report from the Isle of Man Government show the two further Covid deaths occurred in January.

The overall number of cases has plateaued over the last week, with a small rise in infections among those aged 10-19 as well as those in their 40s and 50s.

The report predicts this plateau could continue for some time, based on trends seen elsewhere.

Meanwhile, the data shows all nine people in hospital with coronavirus over the last week were fully vaccinated, with the majority having also had a booster jab.
