00:00So the plan will be that the ship will anchor and that there will be small boats that will take
00:06some of the passengers and it will be done in a very choreographed, coordinated way, in a very protected way.
00:11Bring those passengers to shore. There will be a screening that will take place.
00:15Right now there's nobody on board that has any symptoms, including passengers and crew. That's great news.
00:21So there will be small boats that will bring the passengers in groups to the dock.
00:26There will be a medical screening that will be done.
00:28If there's anybody that develops symptoms, anybody that has symptoms, they will immediately go to a medical evacuation plane and
00:35be taken to the Netherlands for care.
00:37For those who are healthy, those who are doing well, they will go to individual planes that are being organized
00:42by countries.
00:44Those planes will take those individuals back to home countries.
00:47Right now, we as WHO, we classify everybody on board as what we call a high risk contact.
00:53That might sound scary, but it's how we will operationalize the movement of the passengers and the crew safely home.
01:01We're talking about their risk.
01:02We're talking about their risk, yes.
01:03So the risk to the general public is low.
01:06The risk to the people in the Canary Islands is low.
01:08So we do need to continue to contextualize this because because of all the attention right now, people may think
01:13that the risk is growing.
01:14It's not.
01:15So we're trying to also support the airport in Canary Islands because it's a small airport and not to over
01:21overload the system.
01:22But what we do recommend is the active monitoring and follow up of all of the passengers and crew who
01:28disembark for a 42 day period.
01:31That doesn't mean 42 days from now or from tomorrow.
01:34It actually means 42 days from the last point of exposure.
01:37So that has already started.
01:39That clock has already started ticking.
01:40And so there's this is, again, dynamic type of situation.
01:43And the goal is for all of the repatriation flights to take place on Sunday and Monday.
01:50We do know that there's a weather system that's coming in, and I think they want to do all of
01:54the repatriation before that comes through.
01:56But again, our director general is on the ground.
01:58We also have a team from WHO that's going to support and oversee with many, many other people.
02:05As of right now, we do have eight cases, three deaths, sadly, so far.
02:12We're going to go for it now.
02:12Go back there.
02:12We'll go back there.
02:13Go back there.
02:13You go back there.
02:13Get there in there.
