The recent outbreak of hantavirus on the MV Hondius cruise ship has raised significant health concerns, as three individuals have reportedly died.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed two cases of the deadly hantavirus, and five more are suspected among people who were on a luxury cruise ship now held in the Atlantic near Cape Verde. The three fatalities were a Dutch couple and a German national, and a British national was evacuated from the ship from Ascension and is being treated in South Africa, officials have said.
