American evacuated from hantavirus-hit cruise ship tests positive

Several passengers from the hantavirus-stricken MV Hondius have been evacuated to the Canary Islands and subsequently repatriated to the United States, with at least one American testing positive for hantavirus and others showing symptoms or remaining asymptomatic. CNN reports 93 passengers were evacuated to Tenerife and notes multiple cases and symptomatic cases among evacuees. Washington Times and New York Post corroborate a positive test for an American and mention a second passenger with symptoms; New York Post also notes a second passenger with mild symptoms. Discrepancies remain on exact counts of positive cases and symptom development, with CNN providing broader evacuation figures and multiple cases.
