A cruise ship impacted by a hantavirus outbreak has arrived at the port of Rotterdam, marking an important phase in managing the health situation aboard. The vessel reached Rotterdam after departing from the Canary Islands, entering European waters to undergo extensive health and sanitation interventions.

Health authorities at the port have intensified preventive measures, including thorough disinfection of the ship and implementing quarantine protocols. These steps are aimed at controlling the spread of the virus among passengers and crew during the ongoing cruise season. Passengers arriving from the affected cruise may be subject to increased health screenings and quarantine requirements

as part of these efforts.
