Isle of Man "Carry Us Through" Covid-19 Series

ISLE OF MAN POST OFFICE Office on 4 May 2020  issued  a collection of eight stamps  in response to the global pandemic health crisis brought about by Covid -19, Coronavirus.

The stamps reflect the unique response of an Island population to the challenges brought by coronavirus; highlighting the message that Love, Faith, Care, Compassion, Work, Community, Words and Science will #CarryUsThrough these unprecedented times.
The issue is presented on the underlying themes of strength, fortitude and love during a global crisis, celebrating the people making such a contribution to our lives; NHS workers, key staff including postal workers, carers, volunteers, our community and the scientists and educators who will develop vaccines and educate our children.

The stamps proudly display the three legs of Man, its meaning: “Whithersoever way you throw us, we will stand”. This motto summarises the Manx spirit and the determination of our people to fight on through this crisis.

A donation from the sale of these stamps was made to the Manx Solidarity Fund.
