The final passengers disembarked from the cruise ship MV Hondius in Tenerife, ending the evacuation of a vessel struck by a hantavirus outbreak.

Passengers boarded flights to quarantine facilities distributed across more than 20 countries. The operation represents one of the largest disease-related ship evacuations in recent years.

Hantavirus is typically transmitted through contact with infected rodents. The outbreak prompted authorities to implement isolation protocols and trace contacts across multiple international destinations.
