Similar to local measures in parts of New Zealand and Australia last month, the Isle of Man has today gone into a 21-day “circuit breaker” lockdown, its second of 2021, after an outbreak of 40 cases arising from a resident ferry worker. The worker, who was not isolating outside work as required, may have spread the case in the community.
This shows, for me, the folly of a “keep COVID out” approach by throwing up the barricades and trying to prevent imported cases. The limited immunity in the community means that they keep jumping in and out of lockdown anyway, with all the attendant unpredictability.
