developing CRI News Radio Tenerife 3d3d Impact 9

WHO Director-General Tedros traveled to Tenerife, Spain, on the 9th to coordinate the transfer of personnel from the Red Cross ship "Auxerre" and related health work. The head of the World Health Organization has arrived on the Spanish island of Tenerife to supervise the arrival of the virus-stricken cruise ship. Three passengers have died after contracting a rare strain of Hunter virus. The WHO is assuring local residents that the risk is low, as passengers will be brought ashore in sealed vehicles and flown straight home. A virus-stricken cruise ship, carrying nearly 150 affected individuals, is due to anchor within hours. Eight people out of more than 140 passengers and crew on the flight have fallen ill.

A virus-stricken cruise ship, carrying nearly 150 affected individuals, is due to anchor within hours. Eight people out of more than 140 passengers and crew on the flight have fallen ill. The Director-General reiterated that the current public health risk remains low, stating explicitly that 'This is not Covid.' Individuals showing no symptoms, potentially linked to the virus-stricken ship nearing Tenerife, are being transported to Arrow Park Hospital on the Wirral in the UK. The Directorate General of the Merchant Marine has issued a resolution, likely in connection with the approaching virus-stricken ship near Tenerife. The vessel carries nearly 150 people. Spain is coordinating with international health agencies to ensure the evacuation operation, which involves 23 countries, proceeds with the highest guarantees. The cruise ship involved in the evacuation, which has drawn global attention, is named Honduras. There are currently no confirmed cases of the virus in the U.S.
