UK says third British national has suspected hantavirus
Health officials are tracing dozens of passengers as two British men remain in intensive care and a third suspected case is on Tristan da Cunha.
- A third British national is suspected of having hantavirus linked to an outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship, with two others confirmed and receiving hospital treatment in the Netherlands and South Africa, including one in intensive care.
- The MV Hondius is expected to dock in Tenerife, where UK government staff will assist British passengers, escorting those without symptoms to airports for free passage back to the UK.
- All British passengers and crew from the MV Hondius are required to self-isolate for 45 days upon return to the UK, with the UK Health Security Agency providing monitoring and support during isolation.
- The UK government is collaborating with international partners and considers the general public risk to be very low.
