En schweizisk man som klev av kryssningsfartyget MV Hondius på Sankta Helena för två veckor sedan har bekräftats bära på Andes-hantaviruset och vårdas på sjukhus i Zürich. Fartyget är nu på väg mot Kanarieöarna för evakuering av de återstående passagerarna.

Utbrottet av Andes-hantaviruset på MV Hondius har hittills krävt tre dödsfall. En 70-årig nederländsk man avled ombord den 11 april och hans hustru dog på sjukhus i Johannesburg den 25 april. En tysk kvinna avled den 2 maj.

Fartyget lämnade Ushuaia i Argentina den 20 mars. Den 22 april steg 23 passagerare av på Sankta Helena. Den schweiziske mannen, som visade symptom redan då, kontaktade själv ett sjukhus efter att ha fått mejl från fartyget. Hans tillstånd beskrivs som stabilt och han hålls isolerad i upp till 45 dagar.

Övriga passagerare hålls kvar ombord under strikta restriktioner medan fartyget är på väg mot Teneriffa. Det beräknas anlända på lördag. WHO bedömer risken för omfattande internationell spridning som liten.
