"Clavijo stated that his government has not received detailed information on how the operation will be carried out and speculated that it might be a highly contagious variant. Hantavirus is not particularly contagious and is only transmitted between humans through very close contact, such as on a ship."
"The government fears that Clavijo is trying to prevent the ship from docking in the Canary Islands, an action the executive considers unthinkable, given it has a mandate from the WHO, a request from the European Union, and the fact that there are 14 Spanish nationals on board."
