Hantavirus Outbreak on Cruise Ship: Three Dead, Evacuations Underway

Two critically ill crew members and a close contact of a victim are being evacuated from the MV Hondius, a cruise ship quarantined off Praia, Cape Verde, due to a hantavirus outbreak. The ship, carrying 147 passengers and crew from 23 nationalities, started its journey from Ushuaia, Argentina, on April 1st. The outbreak is suspected to be due to human-to-human spread, possibly the Andes virus strain, with the first cases tracing back to a Dutch couple infected before boarding. The ship is set to sail to Spains Canary Islands for further medical care and contact tracing.
