Hantavirus outbreak traps 150 on cruise ship off Cape Verde

Around 150 people remain stranded on a cruise ship off Cape Verde after a suspected hantavirus outbreak, with at least three deaths reported, said the World Health Organization on Sunday (May 3). Authorities have barred the vessel from docking as a precaution, while medics work to evacuate those showing symptoms.

Health officials say the risk to the wider public is low, but investigations into the source of the outbreak are ongoing. #hantavirus
