"Spain's Ministry of Health stated that the World Health Organization explained Cape Verde was unable to receive the 147 crew and passengers of the MV Hondius, necessitating the ship's journey to the Canary Islands."
"A Dutch couple and a German national have died of the rare disease, which is usually spread from infected rodents through urine, droppings, and saliva, on board the ship in early April."
"The Spanish Health Ministry confirmed that the MV Hondius will journey to the Canary Islands once those who need evacuation are taken off the ship, with a medical flight for the ship's doctor already arranged."
A hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius has resulted in the deaths of a Dutch couple and a German national. Two crew members require urgent medical care. Spain has permitted the ship to sail to the Canary Islands, the nearest location equipped to handle the situation. A medical flight is set to bring the ship's gravely ill doctor to Spain. The Dutch government is preparing to receive evacuated passengers, while the remaining individuals will be examined and treated upon arrival in the Canary Islands.
