Three people have died and a British national is in intensive care following a suspected hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship in the Atlantic. The ship’s operator, Oceanwide Expeditions, said a Dutch couple and a German national have died, though the exact cause has not been confirmed. The company added that hantavirus has been detected in the 69-year-old British patient receiving treatment in Johannesburg. Hantavirus is typically transmitted to humans through contact with infected rodents and can cause severe respiratory illness. Two crew members are also experiencing respiratory symptoms, including one severe case. #hantavirus #cruise #health #outbreak #news
