Spain to accept hantavirus cruise ship: WHO

Geneva: The WHO said Tuesday that Spain would "welcome" a cruise ship anchored off Cape Verde with suspected hantavirus cases onboard, enabling a probe and assessment of the risk to the remaining passengers. WHO epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention director Maria Van Kerkhove told reporters the ship would head for the Canary islands. "We're working with Spanish authorities who ... have said that they will welcome the ship to do a full investigation, a full epidemiologic investigation, full disinfection of the ship and of course, to assess the risk of the passengers that are actually on board."
