Twenty Britons from a cruise ship hit by a hantavirus outbreak continue to be offered practical and emotional support as they isolate at a UK hospital.
Along with the 20 British nationals, a German who is a UK resident, and a Japanese passenger, were taken to Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral on Sunday after the MV Hondius docked in Tenerife.
Three passengers who boarded the cruise ship have died. Eight people no longer on the vessel have fallen ill, according to a World Health Organisation (WHO) tally from Friday, of whom six are confirmed to have contracted the virus. The WHO said its goal was to finish the ship’s evacuation, with the exception of 30 crew members remaining on board, by 7pm on Monday [11 May].
