A cruise vessel facing an outbreak of a “rat virus” is allowed to dock in the Canary Islands after earlier restrictions, according to reporting by the Daily Mail. The ship has recorded three deaths, and two crew members are scheduled to be evacuated because they are reported to be seriously ill. The planned evacuation route will take them via Cape Verde, with onward travel to the Netherlands. After the evacuation is carried out, the vessel is set to continue its journey to the Canary Islands. The reports also state that a British ship doctor who is among those seriously ill is expected to be evacuated as part of the same operation. Details about the outbreak’s cause, the full medical status of those affected, and the authorities’ specific conditions for docking are not expanded in the provided summaries. The coverage centers on the change in clearance status for docking and the logistics of removing the most ill staff before the ship proceeds to its destination.
