Two Irish passengers on board hantavirus-hit cruise ship; three other passengers dead; Cape Verde refuses permission for ship to dock
"Three passengers have died during the voyage and two crew members on board need urgent medical care, the vessel's operator has confirmed."
"Cape Verde health authorities said on Monday that they have decided not to authorise a cruise ship linked to suspected hantavirus cases to dock at the port of Praia, as a precautionary measure."
"We are currently establishing the full facts and working on appropriate medical care, screening, and next steps."
A cruise ship has reported three passenger deaths and two crew members requiring urgent medical attention. A British passenger is critically ill in Johannesburg. Cape Verde health authorities have denied the ship docking due to suspected hantavirus cases, ensuring safety measures are in place. Local health officials assessed the ship's conditions, and the operator is coordinating with them for medical care and screening. The vessel, MV Hondius, is currently off Cape Verde after departing from Ushuaia, Argentina, three weeks ago.
