Britons Return Home After Ship Evacuation
11 May
Summary
- Returning Britons will undergo a 45-day self-isolation period.
- Passengers will be housed at a dedicated facility for assessment.
- WHO aimed for ship evacuation completion by Monday evening.
British passengers who were on board a ship have begun returning to the UK. They were seen waving as they were transported from Granadilla de Abona to Tenerife South Airport. The World Health Organisation had set a goal to complete the ship's evacuation by Monday evening, with only 30 crew members remaining.
Upon reaching the UK, passengers will be accommodated in a block at the Arrowe Park site. This facility is located away from public hospital areas to facilitate clinical assessment and testing as a precautionary measure. The NHS trust has assured that hospital operations remain normal, posing no risk to patients, visitors, or staff.
After their initial isolation period, public health specialists will determine if individuals can continue isolating at home or require alternative arrangements. All Britons returning will adhere to a strict 45-day self-isolation period and will be prohibited from using public transport to travel to their homes.
