The Islands Enterprise Minister is urging Manx people to have the confidence to spend locally to help the local economy.
Laurence Skelly MHK made the comments whilst addressing the media at today's government Coronavirus briefing.
Meanwhile, he's also encouraged the concept of 'staycations' instead of holidays abroad with the Isle of Man borders still shut at this time.
Elsewhere, the Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce has been working to assure residents that businesses have created the safest environments possible for people to shop in public.
