Video shared on social media showed the captain of the MV Hondius cruise ship, affected by a hantavirus outbreak, informing passengers on April 12 that a person had died on board. Captain Jan Dobrogowski told those on board it was his “sad duty” to announce the death, adding that doctors believed it was due to natural causes and was not infectious. Oceanwide Expeditions, the ship’s operator, said that the April 12 announcement was made about the death of a Dutch national the previous day, adding that at the time there was no evidence of a virus on board and the case was considered isolated after medical review. The video has gained attention as the vessel deals with a hantavirus outbreak that has since left three people dead and several others suspected of infection.
