Remaining Canadians on cruise ship at the centre of hantavirus outbreak to disembark
WHO representatives will screen four Canadians and dozens of other passengers before quarantine as three non-Canadian travelers have died.
- Four Canadians and other asymptomatic passengers aboard the MV Hondius are set to disembark early Sunday in Tenerife, an island in Spain's Canary Islands, ending their isolation following the hantavirus outbreak.
- The voyage began April 1 in Argentina, with the World Health Organization detecting the hantavirus outbreak on May 2 after three non-Canadian passengers died from the virus.
- Two of the six Canadian passengers disembarked with 30 others on the remote island of Helena on April 24, before the World Health Organization detected the outbreak on May 2.
- WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus reassured Tenerife residents on Saturday, saying "the pain of 2020 is still real," while emphasizing this outbreak is not another COVID.
- Oceanwide Expeditions confirmed passengers will undergo screening and quarantine at the port, with the vessel subsequently taken to the Netherlands for further containment and medical monitoring.
