Around 5:40 am Brasília time (9:40 am local time), the first passengers of the cruise ship MV Hondius began to leave the ship, which is anchored in the port of Granadilla, in Tenerife. The information was released by the Spanish Ministry of Health. 14 Spaniards, 13 passengers and one crew member, are the first to disembark. The priority disembarkation of Spanish citizens had already been informed by the government. The ship has 8 reported cases of hantavirus, with three deaths. They will go to Tenerife South airport in a bus from the Military Emergency Unit (UME), accompanied by a psychiatrist from the Mental Health Commissariat. Despite being asymptomatic, everyone will be re-evaluated. Next to disembark will be passengers from the Netherlands, Germany, Greece and part of the crew. The vessel was accompanied by the Spanish Civil Guard until docking. About 360 agents participated in the operation by air and sea. Specialists such as biologists, chemists and radiologists were also summoned. After a controversy involving the government of the Canary Islands that did not want to receive the ship, the cruise ship docked around 4 am Brasília time. In a press conference, the Spanish Minister of Health, Mónica García, classified the anchoring as a “success, despite all the adversities”.
