Britons on hantavirus-hit ship to isolate at Covid-quarantine hospital

British passengers on a cruise ship hit by a hantavirus outbreak will be transferred to the hospital used as the UK’s quarantine site at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said MV Hondius passengers will be transferred to an isolation facility at Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral, Merseyside, after being repatriated to the UK from Tenerife on a chartered flight.

The passengers will be housed in an accommodation block on the Arrowe Park site away from the hospital’s public areas to receive clinical assessments and testing as a precautionary measure.

The hospital was used to house British citizens returning from Wuhan, China, in January 2020 at the start of the Covid pandemic.
