A COVID Support Hub is now available in Holyhead that will provide testing kits and support to those living in the community. From Tuesday, 11 May residents are able to make an appointment with the Citizens Advice Service in the Anglesey town to obtain a Lateral Flow Device (LFT). LFDs are used to identify people with COVID-19 who are not showing symptoms. Around 1 in 3 individuals with the virus do not have any symptoms, and if left undetected they will continue to spread the virus. Testing those without symptoms is an important tool in the fight against COVID-19. Each positive case identified can help prevent many more infections.

Isle of Man Women’s Representative Football Team Manager Brian Cowin is to step down from his role. Brian has been in position since early 2018 during which time the highlight of his term was leading the squad to success at the Ynys Mon football tournament in June 2019, a competition organised after football was left out of that year’s Island Games. The Isle of Man team claimed gold after an excellent 2-1 victory against hosts Ynys Mon at the Holyhead Stadium. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, there have been no representative games since then and the next Island Games – in Guernsey – has been moved to summer 2023.
