The World Health Organization (WHO) is coordinating efforts to manage a hantavirus outbreak, with a focus on repatriation flights for those affected. The WHO's chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, is in Tenerife, Spain, to assist in coordinating the evacuation of passengers. Three passengers from the MV Hondius cruise ship have died, and others have become ill with the rare disease. The only strain of hantavirus that can be transmitted person-to-person has been confirmed among those who tested positive. The Dutch-flagged vessel is expected to arrive in Tenerife, and special flights will transport passengers to their home countries. The WHO maintains that the risk to the general public remains low, with the virus not easily spreading from person to person. Authorities are also investigating a flight attendant and a woman who were in contact with infected individuals. The MV Hondius had departed from Argentina and was en route to Cape Verde. British and US authorities have announced repatriation flights, and the ship will anchor off Tenerife. Passengers will be transferred to shore and then to the airport. Dockworkers in Tenerife protested the arrival of the ship. A suspected case was reported on Tristan da Cunha, a remote island.
