Health officials are continuing to monitor the hantavirus outbreak linked to the MV Hondius cruise ship. As of May 8, there have been five confirmed cases and four suspected cases connected to the ship, with three reported deaths. Officials believe the Andes strain of hantavirus may have spread between some passengers during the trip. The cruise ship is expected to arrive in Spain this weekend, where passengers will be flown home under quarantine precautions. Health agencies say the risk to the general public remains low while investigations continue.

#TSRPolitics: As details about the hantavirus outbreak aboard the #MVHondius continue to emerge, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a statement. 
____________________________________
Wednesday evening, the CDC said, “The safety and health of the affected American travelers is our number one goal. Hantavirus is not spread by people without symptoms; transmission requires close contact, and the risk to the American public is very low.” 
____________________________________
According to @cbsnews, five states said they are monitoring passengers who debarked the ship in April before any cases were confirmed. There are two passengers each in Georgia and Texas, one from Arizona, and one from Virginia. There are reportedly an unspecified number from California. Each state has said that those being monitored have not shown signs of infection.
____________________________________
Other countries monitoring passengers who left before any cases were confirmed include Canada, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
____________________________________
With the recent outbreak, concerns about sanitation on cruise ships have risen. It was reported last year that full-time employees in the CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program were laid off. However, in a statement to @people, a CDC spokesperson said, “CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) remains fully staffed, including epidemiologists, and continues to carry out all core program activities for cruise ships under U.S. jurisdiction.”
____________________________________
On Thursday, the World Health Organization held a media briefing, where the Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, “I have been in touch with the ship’s captain regularly, including this morning. He told me morale has improved significantly since the ship started moving again.”

All we know about the Dutch cruise ship outbreak 🦠⁠
⁠
A ship stranded off the coast of West Africa is at the centre of a suspected hantavirus outbreak, with three deaths and several more passengers unwell. Health officials have confirmed a small number of cases on board, though the virus remains rare and is not considered a major risk to the wider public.⁠
⁠
So what actually is hantavirus? It’s a group of viruses typically carried by rodents like mice and rats. Humans can catch it through contact with infected animals or their saliva, urine or droppings. Early symptoms include fever, fatigue and muscle aches, before more serious issues like breathing problems can develop days later.⁠
⁠
Human-to-human spread is extremely uncommon, though experts say a rare strain could be behind this outbreak. There’s no specific cure, but early medical care can improve outcomes. Officials continue to monitor the situation, and investigations are ongoing.⁠

Cruise ship “hantavirus” outbreak sparks international effort to track passengers

Health officials in at least a dozen countries, including the U.S., are tracking dozens of passengers who traveled aboard the cruise ship at the center of a deadly hantavirus outbreak.

What’s happened so far:

* At least 3 passengers have died
* Multiple others became sick or are being monitored
* The outbreak involves the rare Andes strain of Hantavirus

Only 3 years after Covid and we already got another global pandemic scare. Nice

Health officials are monitoring a new #hantavirus scare after reports of infected passengers aboard a cruise ship sparked concerns online. @Polymarket currently shows around a 16% chance of a pandemic hitting the U.S. this year which is insanely high making it way too close to reality. 

This story has fueled fears about another global outbreak after cruise ship quarantines, rising anxiety around rodent-borne viruses, and nonstop social media speculation. People are starting to wonder if 2026 is about to be the next 2020.

Do you think it’ll spread? 🤔

2) blow up this ship bill burr style and then ban all cruises for the rest of time bc they are nothing more than a vessel for disease and human trafficking white trash people

Why Cruise Ships Are PERFECT for Spreading Viruses

2.2K likes126 comments2.3% eng.
Earlier this week, the World Health Organization announced that it was investigating a hantavirus outbreak on a luxury cruise ship, the MV Hondius, after three passengers died. The ship set sail from Ushuaia, Argentina, last month and was scheduled to tour a handful of remote islands in the South Atlantic. Now, nearly 150 passengers are stuck on the boat while being monitored for symptoms.

So what, exactly, is hantavirus? And should we be concerned? The Cut spoke with Jennifer Horney, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Delaware, to learn more. Read on at the link in bio.

The NJ Department of Health says it is currently monitoring two New Jersey residents who were potentially exposed to hantavirus during air travel connected to the recent outbreak investigation tied to the MV Hondius cruise ship.

At this time, NJDOH says the risk to the general public remains low, and hantavirus is not known to spread casually person-to-person in most situations. The virus is typically linked to exposure to infected rodents or their droppings.

With a lot of headlines and social media chatter circulating, health officials are encouraging the public to stay informed through verified sources and avoid panic. 

We’re breaking down what’s confirmed so far, what symptoms health officials are watching for, and what NJ residents should know at the link in bio at TheNewJerseyGirl.com

Four Canadians are among the passengers stuck on a cruise ship where a suspected hantavirus outbreak has already killed three people. The ship was travelling from Argentina to Antarctica when travellers started getting sick, and now it's anchored near Cape Verde, off the coast of West Africa, waiting for help.

Hantavirus is a rare rodent-borne illness that can sometimes spread between people. According to the World Health Organization, the associated illness of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome has a fatality rate of up to 50%.

The cruise company says two crew members currently need medical care, but no one else on board seems to be ill.

Two Canadians were among the 30 passengers who got off a cruise ship before a deadly hantavirus outbreak onboard was officially reported, and now Canadian health officials say they're reaching out to them with guidance on isolation and public health measures.

The passengers disembarked on the remote South Atlantic island of St. Helena on April 24. The body of a Dutch man who died on April 11 was taken off the ship that same day.

Eight cases of the rare virus, including three deaths, have now been linked to the ship. Around 150 people are still on board.

Cruise ships are making headlines again.⁣
⁣
A rare hantavirus outbreak aboard the MV Hondius has sparked a globe-spanning public health scramble involving airlines, hospitals, and health officials from South Africa to Switzerland.⁣
⁣
The expedition ship, which had been sailing through remote South Atlantic destinations like Tristan da Cunha and Saint Helena, has been linked to three deaths and multiple infections. Investigators believe the outbreak involves the Andes strain of hantavirus, which is the only known version capable of limited human-to-human transmission, typically through very close contact like shared cabins or meals. Authorities think the virus may have originated before boarding, possibly during travel in South America, before quietly incubating onboard.⁣
⁣
Now, health officials are racing to trace passengers who dispersed across continents after leaving the ship. Airlines including KLM and Airlink have contacted travelers about potential exposure, while passengers onboard have largely been confined to cabins as the vessel heads toward the Canary Islands. Experts say the broader public risk remains low, so it's unlikely we're looking at Covid 2.0.⁣

Three Canadians are now self-isolating at home in Ontario and Quebec after possible hantavirus exposure from the same deadly outbreak currently plaguing a cruise ship still at sea with 150 people on board. 

Two were passengers who left the ship nearly two weeks ago, before the outbreak had been reported, while a third Canadian who wasn't even on the cruise may have been exposed after sharing a flight with them. 

Officials say all three are asymptomatic right now, but public health teams are monitoring the situation daily and the isolation period could last around 30 days.

Health officials are monitoring a new #hantavirus scare after reports of infected passengers aboard a cruise ship sparked concerns online. 

@Polymarket currently shows around a 16% chance of a pandemic hitting the U.S. this year which is insanely high making it way too close to reality. 

This story has fueled fears about another global outbreak after cruise ship quarantines, rising anxiety around rodent-borne viruses, and nonstop social media speculation. People are starting to wonder if 2026 is about to be the next 2020.

Do you think it’ll spread? 🤔

23 Hantavirus cruise passengers returned home to “all corners” of the world, including to the United States — and one is already critically ill. The World Health Organization is scrambling to contain the Hantavirus outbreak originating from a cruise ship in Europe. They've confirmed this strain can transfer from human to human, and there are now 5 confirmed cases of the deadly disease. The odds of a pandemic this year have doubled on the news

Deadly hantavirus on cruise ship presents a global problem

Earlier this week, the World Health Organization announced that it was investigating a hantavirus outbreak on a luxury cruise ship, the MV Hondius, after three passengers died. The ship set sail from Ushuaia, Argentina, last month and was scheduled to tour a handful of remote islands in the South Atlantic. Now, nearly 150 passengers are stuck on the boat while being monitored for symptoms. So what, exactly, is #hantavirus? And should we be concerned? The Cut spoke with Jennifer Horney, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Delaware, to learn more. Read on at the link in bio. #health #wellness #cruise #worldhealthorganization

If you’ve been curious about yacht-style cruising, this is one that really stands out 👀 We just sailed on the The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Evrima, and here are a few things we thought they did exceptionally well ⬇️ 🍽️ Food (& Drinks!) 
This is one of those experiences where meals don’t feel like your typical “cruise food” … they actually feel like standalone dining experiences! - Multiple venues, all with their own vibe (& most with curated live music!!) - Quality was consistently high, not just one or two standout meals - Cocktails (& mocktails) actually feel intentional, not just standard menu pours
 🪞Accommodations & Decor 
The suites & spaces onboard feel much closer to a luxury hotel than a traditional cruise ship - Spacious layouts with real attention to detail - Clean, modern design around every corner  - Private terraces in EVERY suite
 🌊 The Marina 
This is one of the most unique features, and something you don’t fully understand until you experience it! - Opens directly off the back of the yacht when anchored - Easy access to swimming & water sports when seas are calm - Marina Terrace offers a space to actually hang out, with loungers & a bar / restaurant  🌎 Itineraries 
They do a really nice job of going beyond the typical “big port” stops - Smaller, less crowded destinations - Longer port times and more overnights - Routes that feel a little more intentional and less rushed
 🙌 The Service 
And of course, we couldn’t leave out that famous Ritz-Carlton level of service! - Felt genuinely warm, not overly formal - Felt personalized without being intrusive
 If you’re someone who loves luxury hotels but hasn’t quite found your cruise “fit” yet, this one is definitely worth looking at!
