5 Virus Cases on Cruise as WHO Expects 'Limited' Outbreak
The World Health Organization says eight people are suspected cases as countries trace passengers and arrange evacuations and quarantines.
- The cruise ship Hondius, carrying nearly 150 people, is expected to dock in Tenerife, Spain, by Saturday following a hantavirus outbreak that killed three passengers.
- Argentina's health ministry reported a Dutch couple, who later died, traveled through Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina before boarding the Hondius on April 1, prompting rodent testing in Ushuaia.
- The Andes strain, capable of human-to-human transmission, was confirmed in two passengers; the World Health Organization reported three patients were evacuated from the vessel off Cape Verde.
- Responding to the situation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is monitoring US travelers and leading a 'coordinated, whole-of-government response' with international health authorities.
- Tracing efforts continue for around 40 passengers who disembarked in Santa Helena before the outbreak was reported, as eight people are suspected of having contracted the virus.
