The Independent Isle of Man Covid Review report sets out my findings of strength and weakness in the Island’s pandemic response, and makes practical recommendations in a wide range of areas. Those recommendations seek to support this Government to improve the Island’s resilience so that it is stronger going into another pandemic, as well as assisting future governments to respond robustly to any prolonged emergency.
