Three suspected hantavirus cases to be evacuated soon from cruise ship via Cape Verde: WHO to AFP

Three suspected hantavirus cases aboard a stricken cruise ship off Cape Verde will be evacuated shortly via the west African island nation, a World Health Organization official told AFP on Tuesday.

Once the two symptomatic hantavirus sufferers and a close contact with no symptoms have been successfully evacuated, the MV Hondius “can continue its route”, either to Spain’s Canary Islands or the Netherlands, the UN health agency’s Cape Verde representative, Ann Lindstrand, told AFP.
