Summary

British passengers from a hantavirus-stricken cruise ship arrive in the UK, tested negative, and head to isolation at Arrowe Park Hospital. The ship, MV Hondius, docked in Tenerife, with Spanish officials reporting no symptoms on board. Passengers left luggage behind, grabbing essentials and heading to the airport in protective gear. Eight hantavirus cases confirmed, including three deaths, with three Brits affected. The ship sails to Rotterdam for cleaning, and the risk to the public remains low.
