Tutti i passeggeri sono sbarcati a Tenerife, Isole Canarie, entro il 10 maggio. Sono stati confermati otto casi (incluso un membro dell'equipaggio in Argentina); 3 sono morti. L'OMS ha convocato una riunione di esperti d'emergenza sulla trasmissione del virus Andes da persona a persona. Più di 16 paesi stanno attivamente tracciando i contatti.

Gli hantavirus sono virus RNA trasportati da topi, ratti e arvicole. Gli esseri umani vengono esposti quando le particelle virali presenti nell'urina, nelle feci o nella saliva dei roditori diventano aerosol.
Il virus non si diffonde come l'influenza. La trasmissione da persona a persona è documentata solo per il virus Andes nel Sud America meridionale.

ECDC says the MV Hondius Andes virus cluster has now gone 20 days without a new confirmed case and has entered formal LOW risk review. All monitored contacts remain symptom-free, and the 60-day follow-up protocol continues only for a small residual cohort.
WHO confirms that the final joint biosafety inspection of MV Hondius will take place on June 12 in Rotterdam. Inspectors will verify onboard PCR workflows, isolation cabin readiness, crew certification records, and rodent exclusion controls before any passenger service restart is approved.
PAHO reports Argentina's 2026 hantavirus season remains at 121 confirmed cases and 38 deaths. Weekly incidence has now declined for three consecutive weeks, and epidemiologists say the season is moving into its expected June tail phase.
Oceanwide Expeditions says construction of the two dedicated isolation cabins aboard MV Hondius has been completed. Final commissioning now focuses on air-handling validation, waste routing, and staff drill rehearsal ahead of the June 12 inspection.
CDC's weekly hantavirus bulletin keeps the US 2026 total at 24 confirmed HPS cases. Montana, Arizona, and Colorado remain the main watch areas as summer deer mouse exposure risk rises, but no person-to-person transmission or cruise-related linkage has been identified.
IAATO distributes an interim expedition vessel audit checklist covering pre-embarkation screening, onboard PCR pathways, isolation cabin readiness, and rodent-proof supply handling. The document is meant to bridge operations until the final WHO-IMO code is adopted.
