IOM GOV UPDATE – 22ND JUNE

HOWARD AND DR AL 

HOWARD

WELL GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE 

HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD WEEKEND 

I TOOK GREAT DELIGHT IN SEEING PEOPLE MEETING UP WITH LOVED THIS WEEKEND

THE PUBS WERE BUSY AND THERE WASN’T ANY TROUBLE, THANKS GANG 

WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF HOW WE HAVE RESPONDED TO THIS PANDEMIC 

I’M GOING TO SHARE THE ‘STAY RESPONSIBLE’ PLAN TODAY 

NUMBERS

28 PEOPLE WAITING FOR RESULTS 

DAY 33 OF NO NEW CASES 

UPDATE 

WE DIDN’T PUBLISH STATS THIS WEEKEND AS WE DON’T REALLY NEED TO ANYMORE, WE’LL FIRE THE TEAM BACK UP IF WE NEED TO IN THE FUTURE 

STAY SAFE ROADMAP WAS PUBLISHED A WHILE AGO SO YOU KNEW WHAT WE WERE UP TO. THERE WERE 3 PHASES;

1. STAY AT HOME

2. STAY SAFE 

3. STAY RESPONSIBLE 

THE STAY RESPONSIBLE DOCUMENT WILL BE COMING THROUGH YOUR LETTERBOX SOON 

THIS MORNING ALL KIDS RETURNED TO SCHOOL, WHAT A RELIEF. 

OVER TO…

DR AL

• TODAY WAS AN IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD

• 93% STUDENTS BACK IN THEIR CLASSROOMS

• WE KNOW IT’S BEEN DIFFICULT FOR PARENTS AND KIDS AND TEACHERS

• SCHOOLS ARE MORE THAN BOOKS AND HOMEWORK, THE SOCIAL ASPECT IS V IMPORTANT 

• TEACHERS WILL BE LISTENING TO THE KIDS LOCKDOWN EXPERIENCES 

• TRYING TO MAKE THINGS AS NORMAL AS POSSIBLE 

• ENCOURAGE KIDS TO GO BACK, THE TEACHERS HAVE MISSED YOU 

• THANKS TO THE PARENTS 

• WE WILL USE THIS EXPERIENCE TO GET BETTER 

BACK TO HOWARD

ALL BEING WELL, WE’LL INVITE THE GOVERNOR TO EXIT THE STATE OF EMERGENCY AFTER TYNWALD ON FRIDAY 

THAT JUST LEAVES BORDERS…

WE HAVE CREATED A MANX BUBBLE 

MY INBOX IS FULL WITH PEOPLE ASKING US TO KEEP THE BORDERS CLOSED

WE’RE STILL KEEPING AN EYE ON THE UK 

TO BE CLEAR. WE ARE NOT READY TO OPEN THE BORDERS BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE SOME CLARITY ON THE PATH AHEAD NEXT WEEK

A GROUP OF PEOPLE CAME FROM JERSEY, THEY WERE GIVEN AN EXEMPTION FROM SELF ISOLATION. PLAN WAS AGREED AND A RISK ASSESSMENT TOOK PLACE. WE’RE LOOKING INTO HOW EVERYONE COMPLIED WITH THE RULES, THE POLICE MIGHT LOOK INTO TOO. THEY’VE LEFT NOW

QUESTIONS 

POLICE ARE CHECKING IN TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE SELF ISOLATING POST REPATRIATION. WE CAUGHT ONE PERSON WHO WASN’T 

LIFTING CONTACT TRACING EXPECTATIONS AS PUBS AND CLUBS CAN’T KEEP A RECORD OF WHO HAS BEEN IN AND OUT 

AS FOR A SECOND WAVE, WE HAVE TESTING, CONTACTING TRACING AND BEDS ON STANDBY IF WE NEED THEM. WE’RE WISER AND MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE AFTER OUR FIRST TIME WITH C-19. WE SHOULDN’T SEE A SERIOUS INFECTION RATE IF EVERYONE COMPLIES WITH ANY MEASURES WE NEED TO RE INTRODUCE 

OUR MEDICS AND PUBLIC HEALTH HAVE BEEN MODELLING A SECOND WAVE TO PREPARE. GOV HAVE PPE AND CAPACITY. SHOULD CASES COME BACK, WE CAN REACT QUICKLY 

WANT AS MANY STUDENTS TO COME BACK TO SCHOOL AS POSSIBLE. CONTACT LOCAL HEADTEACHER IF YOU HAVE ANXIETIES ABOUT THE RETURN TO SCHOOL

KIDS CAN’T LEARN IF THEY DON’T ENJOY THE ENVIRONMENT 

PAUL: WE’RE STILL NOT IN THE SAME ROOM…

HQ: WE’LL MEET AGAIN

POLITICIANS CAN’T GET INVOLVED IN THE STU PETERS / MANX RADIO INVESTIGATION

HOPING THAT OVER THE SUMMER WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH EDUCATION LEGISLATION TO BE IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE FOR THE NEXT ACADEMIC YEAR 

IF EVERYONE WORKS TOGETHER AS A TEAM, HARMONY BRINGS BETTER RESULTS FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW SHOULD ACHIEVE THIS, THE BEST WAY FORWARD

PPE IS STILL BEING STORED @ THE NSC SPORTS HALL. WE NEED TO WORK WITH ASHY TO FIND A NEW HOME FOR IT SO THE NSC CAN BE OPENED IN ITS ENTIRETY 

WE’RE FLAT OUT GETTING THE PROGRAMME FOR GOVERNMENT GOING AGAIN, PLUS WE’RE STILL WORKING ON BREXIT TOO 

LONG TERM SPEED LIMIT CHANGES CAN BE DISCUSSED IF A BACK BENCHER RAISES IT IN THE HOUSE OF KEYS. NEVER OUR INTENTION TO BRING CHANGES THROUGH THE BACK DOOR VIA EMERGENCY POWERS. I’M SURE SPEED LIMITS WILL BE AN ELECTION ISSUE 

CLOSING 

NO ONE CAN SAY THERE IS NO RISK 

WE HAVE AN ISLAND THAT IS AS SAFE AS IT CAN BE 

THANKS
