The World Health Organization (WHO) has revised the number of hantavirus cases linked to the MV Hondius cruise ship to 10 after a previously inconclusive US case tested negative. Three people have died in the outbreak. WHO said the virus involved is the rare Andes strain, which can spread between people only in limited cases after close and prolonged contact. The agency stressed that the outbreak is not comparable to COVID-19 or a pandemic threat. MV Hondius is sailing to the Netherlands, where remaining crew members are expected to complete quarantine under Dutch health procedures.
