Episode Details

Hantavirus outbreak linked to MV Hondius cruise ship affects twelve countries, with five confirmed cases and three suspected. The Andes virus strain, which spreads person-to-person, is the culprit. The outbreak started when passengers visited wildlife spots in Saint Helena, where a couple later died. Public health teams are tracking returnees and contacts, but the risk remains low for most people. The ship is sailing to the Canary Islands with extra doctors on board, and passengers are isolated in cabins for disinfection. The World Health Organization considers the outbreak contained and not a sign of a big epidemic.
