Dozens were flown home for self-isolation after a hantavirus outbreak killed 3 people aboard the MV Hondius, officials said.
- On Sunday, May 10, the Hondius docked in Tenerife to medically evacuate passengers following a Hantavirus outbreak last month that caused three deaths.
- The outbreak prompted an emergency operation to transport over 90 holidaymakers home for self-isolation and quarantine across multiple nations.
- Reports of passengers flouting rules surfaced within hours, with some spotted without properly fitting masks; a healthcare worker was also seen removing PPE in a public area on Sunday.

- Fears persist among residents that Tenerife could become a pandemic epicenter, with healthcare worker David Hernández, 29, warning the island's 24 intensive care beds cannot cope with potential outbreaks.
