Covid review will consider gov't pandemic response up to April 2022

Kate Brunner KC asked to look at greater date range

A review into government's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic will look at all decisions up to April this year.

Initially, the review had only been due to consider decisions made by the previous administration, but the chair of the review asked for that to be extended.

Home Affairs and Justice Minister Jane Poole-Wilson explained why the change to dates was requested:

Tynwald approved a number of changes to the scope of Kate Brunner KC's investigation, including allowing her report to summarise evidence, and ensuring further amendments won't need a Tynwald vote.
