Coronavirus: Man arrested for 'failing to self-isolate' on Isle of Man - fine of up to £10,000 and prison

In his defense, he could cite the fact that there is NO DEFINITIVE TEST for "COVID-19".
I suspect, however that this is a fake news story to scare the masses into compliance.

26-year-old due in court on Friday, where he faces possible fine of up to £10,000 and prison

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.

The man, who has not been named, will appear in court in Douglas, the island’s capital, on Friday. He faces a fine of up to £10,000 and a possible three-month jail sentence.

Earlier on Friday, the Manx government confirmed the island’s first case of coronavirus. A spokesperson for the island’s public health team confirmed that the person had recently returned from a trip to Spain.

So far, 52 people have been tested for the virus on the Isle of Man, which has a population of 85,000. The island’s population has an average age of 44.4, compared with 40.5 in the UK.

Implementing its tight quarantine rules on Monday, the Isle of Man’s chief minister, Howard Quayle, said: “We are taking action to protect our residents and to ensure life can continue as normal as possible during this unpredictable time.

“We are advising against all non-essential travel off the island, and the measures being introduced from tomorrow are aimed at minimising the risk of those arriving in the island infecting our population.”

For those already on the island, anyone displaying symptoms including a persistent cough or fever, or anyone living with someone who has symptoms of the virus, must also self-isolate for two weeks.

The island’s schools and businesses are still open, and there are no restrictions on public gatherings, but the government has urged people to take extra precautions if they are in an at-risk category.

In the UK, there are no active measures at present to enforce self-isolation, and guidance on self-isolation is less trenchant.

Anyone displaying symptoms has been advised to stay at home for at least seven days from when they started. Those in households with multiple people must self-isolate for 14 days.

The guidance for travellers is that only those who have returned from affected areas should self-isolate; they must do this even if they do not have symptoms of the virus.

However, on Thursday, the health secretary, Matt Hancock, announced new legislation which would give powers to law enforcement agencies to curb the spread of the virus. Under the bill, police and immigration officials would be able to place people in “appropriate isolation facilities”.

The Manx health service has an agreement with the UK whereby patients are flown over for treatment they cannot get on the island, but this could be made difficult if the NHS becomes overwhelmed.

The island’s economy, which relies heavily on tourism, has already been hit by the pandemic, with people working in the hospitality sector losing their jobs because of holiday cancellations.

The 2020 Isle of Man TT – which attracted 46,000 people to the island last year – has been cancelled because of concerns about the spread of coronavirus.

The BBC don't like to reiterate that the Chinese Population in Tuscamy is home to Chinese Industry and 'in transit' chinese.

Beat me to it Mitch, just been on tapnewswire & they've the Italian stories.

I put this link up elsewhere if you've not seen it exposing an already previous high death rate of infuenza related cases in Italy in previous years also exposing it is nothing different if this year too it is the same.
 
In the winter seasons from 2013/14 to 2016/17, an estimated average of 5,290,000 ILI cases occurred in Italy, corresponding to an incidence of 9%.
   
More than 68,000 deaths attributable to flu epidemics were estimated in the study period.
   
Italy showed a higher influenza attributable excess mortality compared to other European countries. especially in the elderly.

A fine example of a sheep here, read this comment by 'beachbouy' from this MSN link
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/coronavirus-uk-pubs-restaurants-and-gyms-should-close-from-tonight-boris-johnson-says/ar-BB11tdMT?li=BBoPWjQ&ocid=mailsignout

Yes Boris says pubs should close, i myself think we should close that whorehouse in London (Parliament), a message to landlords tell Boris to f**k off & stay open, do a lock in & pack the place to the rafters, feel free, enjoy life & get p*ssed!

Swaledales & Herdwicks have more intelligence that this two legged sheep:
"It's mind boggling that some people are ignoring the guidelines re social distancing. They are really just common sense and those folks clearly have none. It's incredible that police will have to arrest and detain (as they did on the Isle of Man) those who refuse to voluntarily isolate themselves - I have my own views on that but reluctantly accept that we can't just shoot people, on the spot!"

Remember the fuel crisis, what did media start shouting "if this continues there'll be no fuel for the emergency services" playing on humanity and it's...humanity.
Feels like a scare story to me too mitch, it's how they roll. All media pressurising government to act and do something, anything. As the media moguls own...well, everything worth owning...including many governments! Then the Boris, another pawn in the story.
All media bs (but likely some illness, flu can be very nasty) scaremongering and again playing on humanity. But also dividing and conquering (anyone not confirming will be treated like a terrorist (which is what they tried to do years back)) this time and getting your neighbors to tell the authorities you sneezed (because they want to live) so you're now a terrorist, but worse because it can't be proved for 5 days (or whatever) if your guilty/carrying!
Sh*t the bed!! We gotta know how to own our future.

Not really surprising, that governments look after us and we're a nanny state, look at how folks behave 24 hours after the media shout "wolf"....panic buy! Numbties, something has to change, just be good to see it happen at least morally correct.

That said, has anyone seen footage of these hospitals struggling? Surely that would be all over the news...i ain't seen anything credible (no proof, no control Boris) just actors and sheep...ironically they are behaving like trout...hook, line and sinker!

were in a world where a 27 degree air temperature gets an extreme weather warning.! People are trained to panic and over react and fed reports with alteria agendas .If not biased then completely fabricated , real people dont follow the narrative so well.

There is a full blown pyscological war at work here (yes i know it's been going on for decades) but yes we can see someone sneezing in the street (someone recently pointed out of hayfever season on the way) then you'll get one sheep or maybe more screaming at your for been out, pointing at you saying you should be self isolating...."witch, witch, she's a witch, burn the witch" (yes no different centuries on with the sheep like drones) then others join in then the police are called, you are carted of to an internment camp held down & injected with the vaccine to 'cure' you.

All because you sent the wife out for a loaf of bread her life is in tatters as, so the moral of the story is if you've not got hayfever then don't send the wife go yourself!
