People evacuated from cruise ship to Arrowe Park hospital, Wirral, should enjoy some consolations, says man sent there during Covid pandemic
For the MV Hondius passengers quarantined at Arrowe Park hospital on the Wirral, it is likely to be a period of some anxiety.
But there will be some consolations as they await the all-clear to return to their normal lives, says a veteran of the Covid-19 quarantine at the same site – such as jigsaws, gourmet ready-meals, and even a concierge service.
After being evacuated from the hantavirus-hit cruise ship in Tenerife at the weekend, 20 British people, one German who lives in the UK, and one Japanese national are due to remain at the Merseyside hospital for 72 hours.
They will be monitored by doctors and then told whether they can isolate for up to 45 days at home or at another location, in what the hospital described as “a planned, controlled and carefully managed arrangement”.
