Gladys 9,207 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 DOHLE apparently. Now, I am confused. If the relative was a returning traveller, then they would have been holed up in a hotel so no contact with family, so no problem, apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do they also isolate away from the rest of their family? I suspect not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apple 1,434 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 If another lock down is in the offing then compliance this time will be much harder, despite the logic of it. I predict a lot of people will go off island and take their chances. It's still the getting back that is a problem. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmanxpilot 932 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The IOMSPCo crew member was in a non passenger facing role - as was the non IOM based crew member who tested positive last week. It is possible (if not likely) that these cases are linked. Do the IOMSPCo really need to have UK staff on board at these times? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The thing is it could be a staff member who loads the freight on the boat and doesn't actually travel, who knows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickyBlue 75 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The ever-so-reliable Manx rumour mill - which is of course never wrong - suggests it's the ship's cook. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
