Hantavirus Case Linked to Cruise

A new case of hantavirus has been identified in a Spanish passenger who was evacuated from the MV Hondius cruise ship.

The individual was a close contact of another infected traveler on the vessel, which has been at the center of a deadly outbreak that claimed three lives.

Health authorities in the Netherlands have ordered the ship to undergo extensive deep-cleaning before it can return to its home port.

The incident has raised serious questions regarding sanitation protocols and disease monitoring on international cruise lines.
