MV Hondius docks in Tenerife, Canary Islands; passengers disembark ship hit by hantavirus | CNN

The ship has been docked in the Canary Islands, with evacuees from several nations boarding flights home under strict safety protocols. • Eighteen people bound for the US were among the dozens of passengers who disembarked the cruise ship at the center of a hantavirus outbreak on Sunday. The ship docked in Tenerife, Canary Islands, for a carefully managed operation evacuating passengers and escorting them to flights arranged by multiple nations. More evacuations will take place Monday. • One French passenger showed symptoms while flying home, and all five evacuees on that flight will enter isolation protocols, the country’s prime minister said. Passengers had been screened on the ship Sunday morning and were all asymptomatic at the time, according to Spanish health authorities. • Since the vessel departed Argentina last month, the deaths of three people have been linked to hantavirus — a rare disease typically caused by exposure to infected rats’ urine or feces. It remains a low risk to the general public, according to the World Health Organization, and health officials have emphasized how the virus differs from Covid-19. Our live coverage has ended.
