The World Health Organization (WHO) reports possible human-to-human transmission of hantavirus on the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius, where three passengers have died. The virus typically spreads from rodents, but the WHO suggests it may have spread among close contacts. The risk to the public is low. Two crew members are being medically evacuated to the Netherlands after displaying respiratory symptoms. MV Hondius sailed from Argentina about a month ago and is currently near Cape Verde. Medical teams are assisting, and testing is underway for passengers and crew with symptoms. Images show workers in hazmat suits. About 149 people from 23 countries remain on board under precautions. Seven hantavirus cases have been identified. The two confirmed cases include a Dutch woman who died and a UK national evacuated to South Africa. Investigators suspect the Andes strain, common in South America, is involved. Disinfection is occurring on the ship. The WHO notes the cruise visited islands, some with rodents. Spain has granted permission for the vessel to dock in the Canary Islands for assessment. The Spanish health ministry has not yet received a request but is prepared to offer medical assistance. A passenger reported the mood on the vessel is "pretty good." Another passenger, a travel vlogger, expressed the uncertainty and the desire to return home.
