WHO Director-General To Supervise Hantavirus Ship Arrival In Tenerife

developing BNR Nieuwsradio Amsterdam 3d3d Impact 9

Dutch citizens returning from the cruise ship Hondius will immediately undergo six weeks of home quarantine. Christian Landbauer, identified as being from 'the organization,' stated that the virus is only dangerous to the infected person. The ship and crew reported that increased cleaning and disinfection procedures are currently underway. Dozens of passengers on the Hantavirus-infected cruise ship are preparing to anchor off the Canary Islands this weekend for quarantine. The pathogen is a specific Hantavirus strain capable of human-to-human transmission through very close contact. Patients are being treated in clinics located in the Netherlands, South Africa, and Switzerland. Singapore's National Public Health Laboratory detected no Hantavirus, including the Andes strain, in two individuals.

Patients are being treated in clinics located in the Netherlands, South Africa, and Switzerland. Singapore's National Public Health Laboratory detected no Hantavirus, including the Andes strain, in two individuals. As a precaution, both individuals will remain in quarantine for 30 days from their last exposure, be retested before release, and undergo 45 days of phone monitoring. Authorities state the risk to the public remains low. A case of hantavirus, referred to as 'another case,' reportedly left a ship and then took a plane towards the Alps region. The source did not provide further details on the individual or the specific location within the Alps. Authorities are tracking all individuals, checking plane and ship seat maps, and potentially tracing movements and close contacts related to Hantavirus cases.
