Hantavirus outbreak on cruise ship spurs evacuations from Tenerife

Passengers and crew from the cruise ship MV Hondius were evacuated from Tenerife after a hantavirus outbreak. Governments coordinated evacuations—Spanish and French nationals were flown to Madrid and Paris for onward flights to Canada, the Netherlands, Turkey, the UK, Ireland, and the United States, with arrivals tested and sent to hospitals or quarantine facilities as required. The WHO called for a 42-day quarantine for all evacuees; Spanish evacuees will stay in hospital for 42 days, while French evacuees will be hospitalised briefly before 45 days of home self‑isolation. The Hondius will sail to the Netherlands with about 30 crew aboard for disinfection.”

Repatriation Under Way for 17 Americans From Hantavirus-Stricken Cruise

Seventeen Americans from the hantavirus-stricken cruise Hondius have left Tenerife on a charter flight back to the United States. Upon arrival in Omaha, CDC teams will interview and assess their exposure risk, with those not in close contact deemed low risk and others medium/high risk; travelers may stay in Nebraska or return home under state/public health supervision, with no mandatory quarantine for asymptomatic individuals. This response follows hantavirus protocols, while WHO guidance on longer quarantine exists but is not enforceable.

CDC coordinates U.S. quarantine for hantavirus passengers from cruise ship Hondius

California and other states are monitoring former passengers and at least nine U.S. residents across six states, with more than 100 people still aboard the ship.

Virus-hit cruise sails toward Canary Islands after Cape Verde evacuations

A hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius has led to the ship leaving Cape Verde for the Canary Islands as three people were evacuated to the Netherlands for treatment and two have reached Dutch hospitals (a third evacuee's flight is delayed). The ship, carrying 146 people, has recorded eight cases (three confirmed, five suspected) linked to the Andes strain, with three passengers having died since the voyage began in Argentina; health authorities say transmission is possible between people who are in close contact but the risk to the public remains low. WHO and infectious-disease experts are on board; testing continues and contact tracing is underway as authorities in Spain and the Canary Islands debate entry and quarantine arrangements and consider further repatriations if medically feasible.

Cruise Ship Stranded as Hantavirus Outbreak Triggers Evacuation Over Possible Human Transmission

A hantavirus outbreak aboard the Hondius cruise ship off Cape Verde has killed at least three people, with two lab-confirmed and five suspected cases; the WHO warns of rare human-to-human transmission among close contacts and notes testing points to the Andes variant. Two crew members—one British and one Dutch—will be airlifted to the Netherlands for urgent care, after which the ship hopes to head toward the Canary Islands for medical screening and repatriation. Cape Verde refused docking, leaving the vessel largely stranded as authorities conduct contact tracing and medical screenings for about 150 passengers and 59 crew.
