Health chiefs are struggling as people have turned up at the wrong time for their PCR tests.

Manx Care is now asking the public to arrive as close as possible to their allocated test time.

A statement released this morning reads: ’Manx Care staff are experiencing huge numbers of people turning up outside their scheduled appointment times which is causing significant issues and longer waiting times.

’Please also note that access to the Covid-19 test centre is prohibited today via Glencrutchery Road due to a Manx Gas emergency road closure. Please use the Victoria Road and Victoria Avenue entrances. Additional signage has been put in place.’
