Sun, 02 May 2021
Measures to protect health and care patients, service users and staff will change on Monday. Last week, following a small number of unexplained cases of COVID-19 in the Isle of Man, Manx Care implemented restrictions on visits to hospitals, care homes and residential facilities. However, as there have been limited new cases, the decision has been made to modify the rules. The following will be implemented on 3 May 2021: Visiting at Noble’s Hospital, Ramsey Cottage Hospital and Manannan Court will resume with patients able to nominate two people to attend during visiting times. The nominated two will be the only ones allowed to visit for this time. All visitors will be required to wear a medical grade face covering at all times and will need to fill in the visitor registration form for any contact tracing purposes.
