Spanish authorities have an "ironclad system" in place for disembarking passengers from the MV Hondius, including a closed-circuit loop and dedicated medical facilities.

The cruise ship MV Hondius is expected to dock in the Canary Islands.

American passengers from the MV Hondius have disembarked and are currently being monitored for symptoms in various states across the country, remaining asymptomatic at this time.

Britons arriving in the UK from the MV Hondius cruise ship will be asked to isolate for 45 days.
