He was due to fly back on Tuesday. I presume he had the rules right and is now back at home into his third(!) period of quarantine. The first was when he believes he (and his brother) caught SARS-CoV-2 as they had a number of the symptoms ("clearly something different from a standard cold or 'flu"). This was way back in March. No.2 was when he caught a minor cold in June and diligently got himself tested. That came back negative, but with advice that he had to self-isolated anyway. And breaking quarantine was punishable by up to 6 months in jail! The symptoms of the cold were gone within a day, apparently. And now a third time.
My sister has been added to the lease of the house in Manx so she also has resident status, with the intention that she will also be heading over very soon. She was also meant to be going on Tuesday, but the paperwork wasn't ready in time. There was concern that this would mean a fourth quarantine period for the boyfriend when she finally can make it across, but counter-intuitively if someone is quarantining in your abode that doesn't mean you also have to. Unless they are showing symptoms.
