So 45 days of isolation after docking? That’s brutal but probably necessary to contain the hantavirus. Hope the UK plane gets them home safe.
Interesting that the ship is docking in Tenerife early Sunday. I wonder if the Spanish authorities are prepared for a potential outbreak.
I feel for those British passengers stuck on a cruise ship with hantavirus. 45 days self-isolation is a long time, but better than spreading it.
Why is the UK sending a plane to evacuate them? Couldn’t they just stay on the ship in quarantine? Seems like an overreaction.
Hantavirus is no joke. I read it can be fatal. Kudos to the crew for handling the situation and getting the ship to Tenerife quickly.
45 days self-isolation? That’s longer than some prison sentences! But I guess safety first. Hope the passengers have enough supplies.
