Passengers isolating on cruise ship stranded in the Atlantic over suspected hantavirus | DW News

A cruise ship with nearly 150 people on board is waiting for help off the coast of the Cape Verde islands in the Atlantic Ocean due to a suspected outbreak of the rare hantavirus. According to the World Health Organization three people have died and others are seriously ill.

The liner Hondius was sailing from Argentina to Antarctica when several passengers and crew fell ill. The vessel made its way to the island of Cape Verde off West Africa. Cape Verde's Health Ministry said Monday that for now, it will not allow the ship to dock because of public health concerns and that it would stay in open waters close to shore.

We ask David Safronetz, the principal investigator at the National Microbiology Laboratory of the Public Health Agency of Canada, and Adam Taylor, a professor and director of the Clinical Anatomy Learning Centre at Lancaster University what the hantavirus is and how infections present themselves.
