Cruise ship with hantavirus outbreak to sail to Canary Islands - BBC

Spain’s health authorities expected the MV Hondius to reach the Canary Islands, and the ship did arrive off Tenerife with roughly 149 people remaining aboard under strict precautionary measures. Authorities escorted travelers ashore under protective protocols and began flying evacuated passengers home on military and government planes, while multiple countries continue to monitor and trace travelers linked to the voyage. The decision to perform extra cleaning before the ship sails back to its home port adds an additional layer of decontamination to those precautionary steps.
