Firms that rely on the island's tourist trade have been hit hard by the pandemic
Financial support for tourism and travel businesses on the Isle of Man will continue until Covid-19 border restrictions are lifted, the treasury minister has said.
The Salary Support Scheme had been due to stop on 23 May.
Alfred Cannan said the payments had "played a vital role" and would now "stay in place for a little longer".
Under the scheme, firms can claim £310 per week for each full-time employee.
'Uncertainty'
Launderettes that depend on the hotel and tourist trade for more than 50% of their turnover will also be eligible for the extended support.
