The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) on Sunday classified all passengers aboard the cruise ship Hondius as high-risk contacts after a hantavirus outbreak killed three people and infected at least eight others.
The vessel arrived off Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands under strict health controls after the Dutch-flagged ship was rerouted from Cape Verde earlier this week at the WHO’s request for controlled evacuation procedures. Passengers are set to be evacuated in small groups and transferred through specially arranged transport for self-isolation in their home countries rather than being allowed to use commercial flights, according to European health authorities coordinating the operation with Spanish officials.
The outbreak has prompted renewed scrutiny of infectious disease risks aboard cruise ships following the COVID-19 pandemic, including the 2020 Diamond Princess outbreak that infected more than 800 people.
