Tenerife evacuations begin as hantavirus-stricken MV Hondius docks for disembarkation

After a hantavirus outbreak on the Dutch-owned MV Hondius, passengers began disembarking at Tenerife for repatriation while the WHO says the public risk is low; evacuees will be quarantined and monitored for 42 days, and the ship will be disinfected and travel on to Rotterdam. The case count includes six confirmed infections (two suspected) and three deaths, with Americans slated for quarantine in Omaha before onward travel to their home countries.
