WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he would be heading to the Spanish island of Tenerife off the coast of West Africa, along with senior Spanish government officials, to oversee safe disembarkation of the passengers, crew members and health experts. The Dutch-flagged ship, the MV Hondius, is expected to arrive in Tenerife in the early hours of Sunday.
