And where would they isolate once they get here? In Covid-free households of the so-called immediate friends and family? BTW, what are 'immediate friends'? If you check the Island's wonderful record of community infections and deaths - you will understand why almost no-one here wants to put that at risk. The IOM Government is not going to change the border restrictions noticeably if at all for a considerable time and apart from a small minority the vast majority of our people support this fully.
