Two Britons Self-Isolate After Returning from Hantavirus-Affected Cruise Ship
Two British nationals who were aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship, which experienced a hantavirus outbreak, have returned to the UK and are self-isolating. The UK Health Security Agency confirmed that neither individual is showing symptoms. The outbreak, linked to a birdwatching expedition in Argentina, has resulted in three deaths and several suspected cases. British crew member Martin Anstee was evacuated to the Netherlands for treatment. The UK is monitoring and supporting returning nationals to prevent further transmission. The ship, carrying 19 British nationals, is expected to dock in Tenerife, where passengers will be assessed.
