Dentists are now allowed to offer routine appointments after a three-month hiatus due to Covid-19.

Four executives from a Jersey care home group are being investigated by Isle of Man Police for breaking self-isolation rules.

They breached the terms of their self-isolation rules by having a "meal in a public place", Chief Minister Howard Quayle said.

The group was only supposed to leave their hotel to go to work, under the rules they had been permitted to enter the island.

He confirmed the four people had been allowed to travel to the Isle of Man on 17 June, as their company was expanding the size of an existing home and installing a new manager there.

The Department of Home Affairs failed to disclose personal information about an employee when asked.

Four Jersey care home workers who went to the Isle of Man earlier this month for work are now under investigation by local police.

They allegedly breached quarantine rules by going to a restaurant when they should have been self-isolating.

The group arrived in the Isle of Man after getting a certificate which meant they were exempt from self-isolation - but only under strict guidelines. This means they were required to only go to their place of work and straight back to their accommodation.

Isle of Man Chief Minister Howard Quayle said essential workers still had to comply with quarantine rules, even if they were exempt from its compulsory 14-day isolation period.

Two hospital workers admit breaching rules by visiting a pub to watch football and are given fines.

An air bridge between Guernsey and the Isle of Man could be a boost for local businesses, according to a member of the Guernsey Chamber of Commerce.

From next month, flights will start between the two Crown Dependencies without the need for self-isolation on arrival.

Alan Sillett, head of the chamber's hospitality subsector, said he had hopes for businesses from this connection.

He hopes there would be "hopefully some influx of visitors".

He added: "We should also support it as an island and be curious, with us visiting in the other direction."

Travellers between the islands, which are both currently Covid-19 free, will not have to self-isolate.

Aurigny's chief executive has suggested establishing new flights to the Isle of Man would help the hospitality and tourism sectors in both jurisdictions.

Mark Darby said: "I'm sure there's a demand from people in the Isle of Man to go somewhere different, as there is here.

"We've got really unlimited availability of aircraft and crew if the demand is there."

There have been no scheduled flights between the two Crown Dependencies since 2013.

At press conference on Friday and Tuesday Guernsey's most senior politician Gavin St Pier confirmed the plans were under discussion.

The president of the Committee for Policy and Resources said both governments supported the idea "on a political level", but the practicality of the move remained under consideration.

Guernsey's States-owned airline has revealed it is working on setting up "air bridge" links between the island and the Isle of Man this summer.

Aurigny chief executive Mark Darby said flights were likely to be "a couple of times a week" from late July.

He confirmed both governments need to approve the link before it begins.

Mr Darby said flights should be put on at a "reasonable cost" if they can get help from both governments over fees and charges.

Guernsey has had no cases of coronavirus for 55 days and ended social distancing on 20 June.

The Isle of Man also has no active cases of Covid-19 and ended social distancing five days earlier, becoming the first place in the British Isles to do so.

Both jurisdictions currently have a 14-day self-isolation period for new arrivals, however, Guernsey has announced a pilot scheme allowing people out after one week if they test negative.

Mr Darby confirmed they had "explored various possibilities" of new destinations, but "very few" jurisdictions are in a similar coronavirus situation to Guernsey and the Isle of Man.

Government funding will be "inevitable" to secure air routes, a passenger watchdog says.

An 'air-bridge' between Guernsey and the Isle of Man is still under discussion between the two jurisdictions, Deputy Gavin St Pier has said.

The President of the Policy and Resources Committee said both governments supported the idea "on a political level", but the practicality of the move remained under consideration.

Director of Public Health Dr Nicola Brink said she was "confident" in the levels of data published by the Isle of Man.

"I think you have to be happy with their testing rate, with the laboratory services, with their contact tracing and so on," she said.

She added the Isle of Man had demonstrated a similar strategy to that of Guernsey.

"Final regulations" in regards to Covid-19 would be laid before Tynwald on Friday, the chief minister says.
