Cruise ship hit by hantavirus outbreak docks in Rotterdam
The Dutch-flagged cruise ship MV Hondius, which experienced a deadly hantavirus outbreak resulting in three passenger deaths (two confirmed with the virus) and 11 total infections, has docked at its final destination in Rotterdam. Only crew members were aboard for the final leg of the journey—remaining passengers disembarked in the Canary Islands on May 10-11—with authorities arranging mobile homes for crew self-isolation, planning hantavirus tests for crew, and preparing to thoroughly clean the ship before it can depart again.
