A British doctor evacuated from the MV Hondius cruise ship is currently in a serious but stable condition following a Hantavirus outbreak that has resulted in three fatalities. The outbreak is believed to have originated from a Dutch couple who contracted the virus during a bird-watching trip in Ushuaia, Argentina, before boarding the ship. Argentine officials are investigating the incident, noting that the couple may have been exposed to infected rodents at a landfill during their tour. The ship, which was sailing from Argentina to Cape Verde, had 19 British nationals on board, with eight individuals believed to have been exposed to the virus. Following the outbreak, three passengers have died, including the 70-year-old Dutch man who passed away on April 11, and his wife, aged 69, who died after being evacuated to South Africa. The World Health Organization has confirmed that the strain involved is the Andes strain, which can be transmitted between humans, although such transmission is rare. The ship is expected to dock in Tenerife, Spain, where non-Spanish passengers will be repatriated, while Spanish passengers will undergo quarantine. The Foreign Office is actively supporting the evacuation of British nationals and ensuring their safe return home.
