The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that 17 U.S. passengers aboard the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius, which is experiencing a hantavirus outbreak, will be repatriated to Nebraska via a U.S. government medical flight. The ship is expected to arrive in the Canary Islands over the weekend. Upon arrival, the passengers will be taken to Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha for health assessments before being moved to the National Quarantine Center at the University of Nebraska. CDC teams are currently in the Canary Islands to evaluate exposure risks and implement monitoring measures. Meanwhile, a woman in Spain is being tested for suspected hantavirus after traveling on the same flight as a deceased Dutch woman who had been on the cruise ship. Spanish health authorities have stated that the likelihood of transmission is low, as the woman was seated two rows behind the infected individual. Additional cases have been identified among passengers on the flight, but they are currently asymptomatic.
