Overview
- The Hondius, due to dock Monday in Rotterdam, will see 25 crew and two Dutch public‑health staff disembark for checks as most crew begin a six‑week quarantine with testing, 23 temporary cabins, and a full ship disinfection planned.
- WHO on Sunday kept its global risk assessment at low and said the risk should fall after disembarkation, noting this Andes hantavirus spreads mainly from rodent droppings and only rarely between people.
- Dutch health authorities advised the 17 Filipino crew to complete the full quarantine in the Netherlands due to limited oversight and access to specialized care at home.
- Health updates included Spain’s lone hospitalized case improving in Madrid and a Canadian passenger with a preliminary positive that still awaits confirmation by the national laboratory.
- In a separate incident, Spanish port health teams let most passengers from the Ambition go ashore in A Coruña on Saturday after active norovirus cases dropped to about 21, and the ship later reached Gijón with fewer cases as passengers resumed tours.
