Three Dead From Suspected Hantavirus On Atlantic Cruise

developing RTHK Radio 1 Cantonese Germany 7d7d Impact 8

German medical personnel have collected biological samples from the ship 'Red Docks' for testing at international laboratories to identify the pathogen responsible for the current outbreak. The Dutch government sent two medicalized ambulances to Cape Verde to transfer three affected individuals to the Netherlands. The Spanish Ministry of Health stated the ship has no clinical reason to dock in the Canary Islands once the infected are evacuated. Experts believe an individual may have been infected outside the ship in late April 2026 before being discharged. The WHO currently assumes the virus was brought on board and spread to others in confined spaces like cabins or dining halls. Human-to-human transmission is only associated with the Andes strain of the Hanta virus. The vessel is expected to ultimately dock, according to the report.

Almost 150 passengers on a cruise ship are undergoing disinfection and public health measures following suspected rare human-to-human transmission. Maria Van Kerkhove is monitoring the situation. Three people have died from a suspected hantavirus infection on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Hantaviruses are typically spread through contact with rodent urine, droppings, or saliva. The source noted that these viruses are not often spread via other common methods.
