Summary
The MV Hondius cruise ship, after a hantavirus scare, docks in Rotterdam for a deep clean. Passengers, showing symptoms, were flown home to over twenty countries, with nine confirmed cases and three fatalities. A Dutch couple may have been the first to catch the virus in South America. The crew will be quarantined, and the ship, once disinfected, should be ready to sail again, marking the first time hantavirus has appeared on a cruise ship.
