WHO warns of potential hantavirus rise after MV Hondius cruise outbreak
TL;DR Summary
The WHO chief warned that more hantavirus cases could emerge from the MV Hondius cruise outbreak, with nine confirmed Andes-strain infections and a Spanish evacuee testing positive; given the incubation period of six to eight weeks, countries should prepare, follow a 42‑day quarantine and monitor high-risk contacts, while Spain’s evacuation of more than 120 passengers proceeds and the ship heads back to Rotterdam.
