RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia public health officials this week confirmed one traveler who returned from the MV Hondius is under monitoring after a hantavirus outbreak aboard the polar cruise ship sickened passengers and crew. The ship departed Argentina on April 1; several passengers left the vessel on April 24, and three deaths have been reported. Tenerife, Spain — Shipboard clinicians treated multiple patients while the vessel transited toward Tenerife, where remaining passengers and crew, including 17 Americans, are scheduled to disembark Sunday. Federal and state agencies, including the CDC and the Virginia Department of Health, say they are coordinating monitoring, consider public risk low, and will pursue testing and contact tracing for exposed travelers.
