There have been two further confirmed positive tests for coronavirus in the island.

The total number of confirmed cases now stands at 315.

Health Minister David Ashford said although there have been several new cases, this was not a cause for concern.

He said the level of community transmission was still low and what mattered was the long-term trend which was ’not causing us any concern’.

Chief Minister Howard Quayle said there was no evidence from contact tracing that the new cases were linked to changes made last Friday when a number of Covid restrictions were eased.Mr Quayle said following a 'marathon' meeting of the Council of Ministers today it was agreed that May 7 would be the new 'fundamental review point'.This would give Ministers space to 'amass the data we need to make the best decisions for our island'.He added that it does not mean the government will be announcing wholesale changes on that date', or that any measures would take effect overnight.Mr Quayle said the government's six point 'exit strategy' will be published after it is reviewed by CoMin on Saturday. It will be debated by Tynwald.He said from Saturday morning recreational angling will be allowed. This can be from the shore or at a reservoir but 'we are not yet ready to allow angling by boat or kayak', said the Chief Minister.'For those of you rushing to get your fishing kit ready for Saturday morning, please remember the importance of maintaining strict social distancing and hygiene rules.'He said the Minister for Education, Sport and Culture will give an update on the position regarding golf at a press briefing on Saturday.Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer told this afternoon's press briefing that the Promenade scheme will resume on Monday - and that the pandemic had offered an opportunity to work on the project in a different way.He said the target was now to have the scheme completed by next Easter, bringing the end date forward from August 2021.Mr Harmer said the impact on Covid on the tourism season would allow some restrictions to be removed, enabling the Promenade to be made one-way or sections shut fully to allow the works to take place.He said the call was to 'get it done'.Mr Harmer said: 'We have taken the opportunity to relook at the Prom programme and the scheme. We now intend to alter the way we work and slightly change what we plan to do so we can finish before Easter next year. This will be a challenge.'There have been 3,079 concluded tests, 38 people are awaiting results and 31 people are awaiting tests.In total 273 patients have been instructed to self-isolate and 21 are currently being treated at the hospital. The contact tracing process is already underway.Some 260 individuals are presumed recovered, leaving 34 active cases.
