The World Health Organisation has said the public health risk linked to the hantavirus outbreak aboard the cruise ship MV Hondius remains low as the vessel heads toward Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands.
A cruise ship affected by a hantavirus outbreak has anchored off Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands, prompting the start of a controlled evacuation operation involving international health and government authorities.
British passengers and staff on the cruise ship hit by a hantavirus outbreak will be taken to a hospital in northwest England for an initial isolation period once they are repatriated, UK health authorities said on Saturday.
