The Department of Health said the two Irish citizens will be transferred directly to Ireland from Tenerife and will be quarantined in a HSE facility. In a statement issued Saturday night, the department confirmed that the ship is currently expected to dock in Tenerife early on Sunday. "We understand that the two Irish passengers are currently well. Public health protocols will be followed once the ship has docked with regard to certification and assessment of the health of passengers. This will be overseen by the ECDC and the Spanish authorities."

"I will be there myself," Tedros said in a letter addressed to the people of the Canary Islands, where the ship will anchor off the coast of its largest island, Tenerife. "I intend to travel to Tenerife to observe this operation firsthand, to stand alongside the health workers, port staff, and officials who are making it happen, and to personally pay my respects to an island that has responded to a difficult situation with grace, solidarity, and compassion. Your humanity deserves to be witnessed, not just acknowledged from a distance."

The agency's Artemis 2 mission will see a crew of four astronauts travel far beyond the dark side of the Earth's natural satellite, reaching the farthest point that humans have ever traveled from Earth. They will get unfettered views of the Moon's surface during the flyby, getting within just 4,600 miles of its far side, before making their four-day return to Earth.

Part of that stabilization and the reason why we understand and believe that we have the strongest leverage possible is our quarantine.

Now that the coronavirus has us working from home, our pets are pretty psyched they get to spend more time with us. And, unlike our actual co-workers, they are less likely to annoy us (if that's even possible) as well. It's a win-win. Recently, Twitter user @aubviouslynot asked her quarantined followers who have pets to tell her what their furballs have been doing most recently, but everyone had to refer to them as their 'co-workers'.

In this difficult time that is the quarantine, most of us have to work from home, which means we don't get to see our colleagues. However, there's the next best thing: our pets!

One month after it was first detected in France, there are now 51 recorded cases of the highly contagious cattle virus Dermatose nodulaire contagieuse (known as Lumpy Skin Disease) in the French Alps.

They're aggressive. Disturb them and they're likely to swarm you, biting ten to 20 times per attack and injecting venom that causes an intense burning sensation, followed by itchy blisters.
