The first group of Island residents who'd been stranded off-Island due to the Coronavirus pandemic are expected to arrive back on Manx shores today.
The Manannan service bringing them over is expected in Douglas later on - once the passngers arrive they'll be transported to a temporary quarantine facility at the Comis Hotel in Santon where they'll have to self-isolate for 14 days.
Health and Social Care Minister, David Ashford MHK, previously stated the process of getting all those stranded further afield back could take between five to eight weeks.
Those trying to make their way home are getting health checks at Heysham Port and will only be allowed to travel if they're not showing any symptoms of COVID-19.
