MOST HANTAVIRUS SHIP CRUISERS HAVE DISEMBARKED (930pE)

Just over a week after the World Health Organization announced a rare hantavirus outbreak on Oceanwide Expeditions’ Hondius, an international effort to return passengers and crew home is still continuing. By Tuesday morning, 122 people — including 87 passengers and 35 crew members — had been evacuated, with most already back in their home countries. In the United States, 17 Americans and one dual US-British national are under medical monitoring at healthcare facilities.
