Multiple evacuated from hantavirus cruise ship
Three patients believed to be infected with Hantavirus have been evacuated from a cruise ship off the west coast of Africa, sparking urgent contact tracing efforts reminiscent of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The World Health Organisation is now tracing 69 cruise contacts of people who have been aboard the ship, with all suspected cases linked to a single outbreak.
A total of 146 people remain aboard the vessel, including four Australians. Five other suspected cases are showing no symptoms. #cruise #hantavirus #evacuation #cruiseship #canaryislands
