The first Briton arrested for failing to self-isolate amid the coronavirus crisis will not be charged. Isle of Man Police said the man arrived on the island 'before the new measures came into place' and handed himself to the authorities. The arrested man, who was not named, was the first Briton to be arrested for breaching strict quarantine rules which have been imposed in an effort to stop the spread of the killer virus. He previously faced a fine of up to £10,000 and could have been jailed for three months if found guilty. The Chief Minister for the Isle of Man Howard Quayle declared emergency measures on Monday in light of the global Coronavirus pandemic.
