Latest update (18/05/21)
The Chief Minister has announced The Island will move to the next phase of the Government's COVID-19 Exit Framework on Monday 24 May. There are still limitations on those who can travel (Isle of Man residents, partners, family and property owners), but those that are able to travel will benefit from shorter periods of self-isolation.
Current situation
As of Monday 24 May 2021 some border restrictions will be eased from Level 3 to Level 2.5 This means there will be a reduction in self-isolation periods, but no change to those currently eligible to travel to the Isle of Man.

As we move to the transition phase of the Exit Framework, it is important to remember to follow important steps to protect yourself, your loved ones and those in your community.

As we learn to live with COVID-19, we aim to reduce the need for legal restrictions or requirements. The personal choices and individual measures we all take will play a major part of our defence against Coronavirus.
Coronavirus is highly contagious and it especially spreads through Close Contact, in Crowded Places and in Confined Spaces. The risk increases when these factors overlap.
There are no specific legal requirements or restrictions in place, however the below considerations are important to consider your own personal response:
Social distancing
Social distancing measures have been lifted.

Face coverings
