"No symptomatic individuals are present on board. The three individuals who were airlifted away are now in the care of medical professionals. The company also said it was working to trace all passengers who had been on board and possibly had contact with the virus."
"These disembarked guests have all been contacted by Oceanwide Expeditions. We are working to establish details of all passengers and crew who embarked and disembarked on various stops of m/v Hondius since March 20."
The MV Hondius cruise ship experienced a hantavirus outbreak resulting in evacuations and deaths. Oceanwide Expeditions, the operating company, confirmed that all symptomatic passengers were removed from the vessel and transferred to medical care. Three individuals were airlifted for treatment, with one medical evacuation flight landing in Amsterdam. The company reported 30 guests disembarked at Saint Helena on April 24, though Dutch authorities indicated 40 guests left the ship with unknown whereabouts. Oceanwide Expeditions stated it is contacting all disembarked passengers and tracing individuals who may have had virus exposure since March 20. Spain's Health Ministry approved the ship's docking at Tenerife in the Canary Islands, and the vessel relocated from Cape Verde.
