Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says the UK government is drawing up plans for the safe onward travel of British nationals aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship, which is linked to a hantavirus outbreak. Multiple outlets report that the outbreak has resulted in three deaths. Starmer indicates that arrangements are being put in place to move more than 20 Britons off the vessel, with one report citing plans to fly 22 people home. Other reporting suggests those affected may face additional time on board while logistical and medical preparations are finalised. The proposed onward travel is described as involving coordination to ensure appropriate health and care support during transport, including the presence of medical staff for the return journey. The reports also note that Starmer expresses concern for those on the ship. Overall, outlets agree on the key points that the government is actively working on a repatriation plan, the number of Britons involved is in the low 20s, and the response is shaped by the need for safe travel following the outbreak’s reported fatalities.
