Spain’s Ministry of Health says a Spanish national quarantined in Madrid has tested positive for hantavirus. The man is being held at the Gómez Ulla military hospital, according to reports. He was evacuated earlier this month from the MV Hondius cruise ship after an outbreak was reported onboard. Cyprus Mail and other outlets say the ship’s incident involved 14 Spanish nationals who disembark in Tenerife and are subsequently placed in preventive quarantine. Spain’s health ministry confirms the positive result for one of those individuals still under quarantine in Madrid. The case is described as a new confirmed infection, with the patient monitored in hospital under quarantine arrangements. The reports do not state the patient’s age or specific symptoms. The story is linked to the broader cruise-ship outbreak and the public health steps taken to isolate those affected or potentially exposed. The Ministry’s update focuses on the laboratory confirmation of hantavirus in the quarantined passenger, who remains in preventive care.
