The government's latest repatriation programme could take up to eight weeks.
On Monday, Health and Social Care Minister announced stranded residents overseas can return to the Island on designated sailings from next week.
However, he confirmed the programme itself could take two months, it comes following the Island's borders closing last month - in line with measures to contain the spread of Covid-19.
The sailings will begin from Wednesday, April 15 and will be 'medically controlled' - all those travelling will have to undertake mandatory health checks beforehand to ensure they don't have Coronavirus.
