They could still have offered 'rescue' fares on those routes from today. After all, the STK aircraft and crews that would have operated those routes are standing idle and costing money doing so. Many people would rather get to their booked destination through paying, say, £65 like easyJet are offering than cancel their trip entirely.
The same could have been done for IOM pax who have very limited options otherwise.
Edit: This seems exactly what Blue Islands are doing today.
