## Resource

A cruise ship, MV Hondius, faced a hantavirus outbreak, leading to three passenger deaths and mass evacuations. Over ninety tourists and crew were repatriated from the Canary Islands, with strict isolation measures in place. French passengers were quarantined in Bichat Hospital, while Spanish, British, Dutch, Turkish, Irish, and US passengers were isolated in various facilities. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, muscle pain, gut issues, and breathing trouble, linked to rodent exposure. Two British cases are being treated in the Netherlands and South Africa, and a third Brit received aid from army medics on a remote island. The ship will be cleaned and prepared for handling remains and gear before resuming service. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
