GRANADILLA DE ABONA, Spain (AFP) — A Spanish passenger evacuated from the disease-stricken MV Hondius cruise ship has tested positive for hantavirus but was not suffering symptoms, Madrid’s health ministry said late on Monday.
The passenger was “placed in isolation at the Gomez Ulla hospital and received a positive result from a PCR test done on his arrival”, the ministry said. It added that the “final results will be known in the coming hours” and the other 13 Spanish evacuees had tested negative for the time being.
