Description

Port vessels accompany the MV Hondius as it departs the Granadilla Port after all passengers were evacuated on May 11, 2026, in Tenerife, part of the Canary Islands, Spain. The cruise ship MV Hondius, which had three passengers die from Hantavirus last month and eight more reported cases, docked in Tenerife on May 10, where the remaining passengers are being repatriated to their respective countries. At a press conference this week, representatives of the World Health Organization emphasized the outbreak of this rare virus did not constitute a pandemic, but it has stirred anxieties in the Canary Islands and elsewhere.

Health officials are trying to calm fears about hantavirus after an outbreak on a cruise ship killed three people and sickened several others.
