Spain's government authorized the MV Hondius cruise ship to dock in Tenerife after a hantavirus outbreak that killed three people. Passenger evacuations will begin on May 11 and European Union countries will repatriate their citizens.
The World Health Organization stated that the hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship poses no elevated global risk. Director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday there are no similarities to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Three people have died and eight suspected cases are under investigation on board.
