A "large influx of people" visiting the Isle of Man for the TT races is the likely reason for a quadrupling of Covid-19 cases on the island, public health officials have said.
An estimated 30,000 people booked to travel to the island for the festival's return between 29 May and 10 June.The rise was seen across all groups aged between 19 and 80. A public health surveillance report for the week ending 12 June said the recent increase in coronavirus cases was likely to be the "early effects" of people mixing during the event and recent bank holidays.
It also showed that an ongoing trial of wastewater samples had identified a "significant increase" in the virus for the week beginning on 5 June, which was in line with testing data. The report also revealed the number of people to have died with Covid has now risen to 108 following an ongoing review of death certificates.
Blindingly obvious
Really who cares at this stage. Get over it and on with life.
BBC still peddling covid and stifling tourism. No one listens or believes you anymore.
No one is listening to this shit anymore🤡s
Luckily, it's just a mild cold in its modern variants. Commit to the endemic phase. Move on to something of contemporary importance.
Look at the replys BBC. You’re a national LAUGHING STOCK!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yet during the mass lockdown protests in London it was proven there was NO increase!. Also at capacity football stadiums recently, music festivals, Ascot and the Jubilee celebrations. We’re not fuckin stupid BBC!!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
That’s it! We need another lockdown and 2 more jags minimum.
So what?
If COVID-19 is anywhere, it is potentially everywhere. COVID-19 vaccines will save many lives. Mask wearing is also a good idea.
ScumMedia on form.
LMFAO
Who cares?
I thought they've told us, vaccination won't get us covid anymore.
