한타바이러스 발병으로 승객 3명이 사망한 MV 혼디우스호가 스페인 카나리아 제도로 향하고 있다. 일요일 새벽 테네리페 앞바다에 도착할 예정이며, 승객 대부분이 대피해 귀국할 계획이다.
네덜란드 국적 MV 혼디우스호는 지난 4월 1일 아르헨티나 우수아이아를 출발해 대서양을 건넜다. WHO는 현재까지 6건의 확진 사례를 확인했으며, 안데스 바이러스가 사람 간 전파 가능한 유형으로 밝혀져 우려가 커지고 있다.
테드 로스 WHO 사무총장은 테네리페 주민들에게 “이것은 또 다른 코로나가 아니다”라고 강조하며 위험은 낮다고 안심시켰다. 스페인 당국은 선박을 항구에 정박시키지 않고 해상에서 승객을 선별해 일요일부터 월요일 사이 대피시킬 예정이다.
승객들은 국적별로 그룹을 지어 격리된 구역을 통과하며, 현지 주민과의 접촉은 없을 것이라고 스페인 보건 당국이 밝혔다. 이미 하선한 승객들과 접촉자들에 대한 추적도 여러 국가에서 진행 중이다.
