Hantavirusutbrott på MV Hondius: Tre döda, fartyg lägger till på Teneriffa trots regionalt motstånd
Läge just nu
Uppdaterad 10 maj 08:03MV Hondius ligger ankrat utanför Granadilla, Teneriffa, efter att ha anlänt med tre döda och totalt åtta hantavirusfall (tre dödliga, fem misstänkta), bekräftade som Andesvarianten. Passagerarna är instängda i sina hytter i väntan på negativa tester innan de överförs i förseglade båtar till flygplatsen för repatriering med flygplan som ordnats av USA, Spanien och Storbritannien. Kanarieöarnas regering fortsätter att motsätta sig fartygets närvaro och kräver att det lämnar snabbt, medan hälsotjänstemän försäkrar strikt isolering och ingen kontakt med lokalbefolkningen. Vädret försämras, vilket ökar trycket på att slutföra evakueringen. WHO säger att den övergripande folkhälsorisken är låg men varnar för att ytterligare fall kan uppstå med tanke på inkubationstiden på sex veckor.
