Eight new Coronavirus cases on Island confirmed

Eight new coronavirus cases on Island have been confirmed.

This brings the number of local Covid-19 cases up to 13.

A total of 224 tests have now been completed on the Isle of Man.

Currently, results being sent to the UK are taking around 72 hours, but Health and Social Care Minister David Ashford has confirmed work is underway to build a testing facility on Island - and hopes it'll be finished by mid-April.

All cases are being described as 'mild' - none have required hospital treatment and all are self isolating.

It's also believed one person to have contracted the virus is in their 20's.
