Repatriation logistics: US sending plane for ~17 citizens; 14 Spanish passengers to military hospital

Repatriation plans coalesce as MV Hondius approaches Tenerife. The United States will send an aircraft to the Canary Islands to repatriate ~17 American citizens, who will be escorted to the National Quarantine Unit at UNMC in Nebraska. The 14 Spanish passengers aboard will be transported to a military hospital after onboard examination. Three patients were already air-evacuated earlier in the week (two to Amsterdam, one diverted to Gran Canaria for refueling).
