The MV Hondius, a Dutch-flagged luxury cruise ship, arrived at Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Spain, after being linked to a hantavirus outbreak. The Indian embassy in Madrid confirmed that two Indian nationals aboard the ship are healthy and asymptomatic. The ship had previously traveled from Cape Verde, where three infected individuals were evacuated. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that eight passengers fell ill, including three fatalities. Following health protocols, passengers disembarked in protective gear and were transported to Tenerife South airport for repatriation flights. Countries including Spain, France, Canada, and the Netherlands are coordinating the evacuation of their citizens. The Spanish Health Minister stated that repatriation efforts would continue, with a final flight expected to Australia. Hantaviruses, typically transmitted through contact with infected rodents, pose significant health risks.
