The chief minister has outlined a three stage process for the removal of coronavirus restrictions and the Island's return to normal.

Government estimates the current response will remain unchanged until the end of next month, with changes to borders expected between May and August.

It's before the final 'release phase', which Howard Quayle says may come in September when all the population is due to have vaccinated or offered a jab.

He gave Tynwald details of an 'exit framework' for changing government's covid response from one of elimination, to living with Covid-19.

The document will be made public later today, and will appear as a motion for debate in Tynwald later this month.
