## Resource

A hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship in Tenerife, Spain, has resulted in three fatalities and numerous confirmed or suspected cases. Passengers from over fifteen countries, including seventeen Americans, are being evacuated to their respective homelands for quarantine. The outbreak is believed to have originated from a Dutch couples bird-watching trip in South America, where rodents carry the virus. Health officials assure the public that the risk remains low, and no symptoms have been reported among those still aboard. Evacuations are expected to conclude by Monday.
