The Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius is sailing toward the Canary Islands after a suspected hantavirus outbreak onboard triggered international concern. Three people were evacuated for medical treatment while the vessel remained anchored near Cape Verde for health inspections and emergency protocols. Passengers say no new cases have been reported as the ship resumes its journey. The World Health Organization confirmed the outbreak alert on May 4. Dramatic visuals from onboard, including emotional passenger reactions and dolphins escorting the ship, have drawn global attention to the incident and ongoing monitoring efforts by health authorities.
