Summary
British passengers from a hantavirus-stricken cruise ship arrived in the UK, quarantined at Arrowe Park Hospital. Meanwhile, evacuations from the MV Hondius in Tenerife commenced, with passengers disembarking via small boats. No symptoms were shown among those leaving, but one French passenger fell ill mid-flight. Officials praised international cooperation, emphasizing low public risk. Six hantavirus infections were confirmed, with three deaths, including one British suspected case. Paratroopers, an RAF doctor, and an Army nurse provided supplies. The ship sails to Rotterdam for disinfection, with evacuations completed by Monday evening. Passengers will self-isolate for forty-five days after assessments.
