More than 20 people from the UK are reported to be affected by a suspected hantavirus outbreak aboard the Oceanwide Expeditions MV Hondius cruise ship, as the vessel remains mid-voyage. Multiple reports say at least three people have died, and that several other passengers are ill while health officials investigate the cause. Cape Verde is reported to be blocking the ship from docking, leaving some Britons unable to disembark and continue traveling. In response to concerns about exposure, Oceanwide Expeditions and officials arrange monitoring for those linked to the cruise. One report says ten additional Britons are flown to the UK for monitoring, while other accounts describe passengers being contacted after leaving the ship. Several sources also report that seven Britons disembark mid-voyage, and that the company says those who left have been contacted, though authorities indicate at least one person has yet to be located. The reported cases are under investigation, and the situation remains under review as authorities monitor passengers’ health and determine next steps for the ship and those potentially exposed.
