Removed: article

This article, headlined “French woman was told by doctors hantavirus symptoms were just anxiety”, was removed on 12 May 2026 after the Guardian was notified of a fundamental misunderstanding of remarks from Javier Padilla Bernáldez. The Spanish health secretary had been describing a separate case involving a person who was not confirmed to have hantavirus, not the French woman who had tested positive after evacuation from the ship. The article was also in print. Please see Corrections and clarifications of 12 May 2026.
