- The Spanish Interior Minister announced a ban on ships approaching the ship with hantavirus.
The head of the Spanish Ministry of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlasca, said on May 9 that the country's authorities would ban navigation near the liner with passengers infected with hantavirus.
"The Maritime Administration has also agreed to prohibit any navigation within one nautical mile of the MV Hondius after it enters the Canary Islands marine area," he said at a press conference.
According to Grande-Marlasca, upon arrival, all necessary measures will be taken to ensure the fastest and safest possible disembarkation of passengers and crew, as well as their subsequent departure to their countries of origin.
In early May 2026, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported an outbreak of hantavirus aboard the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius, en route from the Argentine port of Ushuaia to Cape Verde. At the moment, three deaths have been confirmed (a married couple from the Netherlands and a German citizen).
