A Greek passenger evacuated from the cruise ship MV Hondius following an April hantavirus outbreak has tested negative for the virus and remains in good health, Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis said on Thursday.

The UK, US and EU are asking all citizens returning home from the virus-hit MV Hondius to self-isolate for about six weeks.

One passenger has tested positive for Andes virus, a rare type of hantavirus, while another is showing mild symptoms, health officials say.
