A 26-year-old on the Isle of Man has been arrested for allegedly failing to self-isolate against coronavirus.

The man was held by police on the island on Thursday, two days after the self-governing British crown dependency announced strict measures to prevent the illness spreading.

Since Tuesday night, anyone arriving on the island is subject to 14 days of self-isolation even if they do not have symptoms of the virus. It is thought the man had just arrived on the island on a ferry.
