""Based on the epidemiological data collected from the ship during its stopover in Cape Verde, it will be decided which port of call is most appropriate. Until then, the Ministry of Health will not take any decision, as we have informed the World Health Organization.""
""If it does not have to be in the Canary Islands, then that would be better, because there may be other resources on the mainland.""
""Hantaviruses can cause respiratory and cardiac distress, as well as haemorrhagic fevers. There are no vaccines or specific medications to combat hantaviruses -- meaning treatment consists solely of attempting to relieve the symptoms.""
Spain's health ministry will not decide on the docking of a cruise ship with hantavirus cases in the Canary Islands until epidemiological data is analyzed. The World Health Organization has been informed of this decision. The vice president of the regional government expressed a preference for the ship to go to mainland Spain, citing better resources for handling the situation. Hantaviruses can cause serious health issues, and there are no specific treatments available, only symptom relief.
