Australia to Rescue Citizens from Hantavirus-Stricken Cruise Ship Australia is sending a charter flight to bring home four citizens and one permanent resident from the MV Hondius cruise ship, where a hantavirus outbreak has occurred. The ship docked in Tenerife with 146 people aboard, following three deaths and eight illnesses. The group will be quarantined upon arrival in Perth, with medical staff on board the flight and state governments handling quarantine details. The federal environment minister assured top care for the passengers, emphasizing that no one signed up for this situation. Health experts maintain that the wider outbreak risk remains low.
