Coronavirus: Isle of Man five-stage border plan published
The Isle of Man government has published a five-stage plan to relax its border restrictions as the coronavirus pandemic eases.
Since March 27 only those given special permission have been allowed to travel to the island. Beginning at level five, the current status, the plan gradually moves towards a full reopening of the border. Chief Minister Howard Quayle said the government would make changes very cautiously. He was not ready ease restrictions yet "while so much uncertainty remains in the United Kingdom and elsewhere". Mr Quayle said there would be a further review next week. He added: "I'm aware this will be a relief to some and a frustration to others. But in line with our approach right up to this point, we feel it is better to be cautious." The five levels are detailed as follows: Level 5 Level 4 Level 3 Level 2 Level 1
