“洪迪乌斯号”（MV Hondius）邮轮上已有三名乘客死于汉坦病毒，目前该船正驶向西班牙加那利群岛，准备撤离船上近150名乘客中的大部分人员。
这艘悬挂荷兰国旗的船只于4月1日离开阿根廷乌斯怀亚，预计将于周日凌晨抵达特内里费岛附近海域。世界卫生组织现已确认六起病例，并确定病毒类型为安第斯病毒（Andes virus），该病毒具有人际传播能力。
世卫组织总干事谭德塞向特内里费岛居民表示，“这并非又一次新冠疫情”，并强调公众面临的风险仍然很低。西班牙当局计划让该船停留在离岸区域，并在周日到周一之间对乘客进行筛查与撤离工作。
据西班牙卫生部和内政部称，乘客将按国籍分组，通过密封区域进行转移，过程中不会与当地居民接触。多个国家也在追踪此前已下船并可能与感染者有过接触的人员。此前，世卫组织已确认五例病例和三例死亡，目前在荷兰和南非接受治疗的患者情况正在好转。
