22 Britons were hospitalized after being evacuated from the hantavirus-stricken cruise ship MV Hondius
After arriving in Tenerife, the group was flown to Manchester and transferred to Arrowe Park Hospital for screening. None showed symptoms at evacuation.
Eight passengers who had already disembarked fell ill (six confirmed cases), with three deaths: a Dutch couple and one German. One American tested positive, and a French citizen was also confirmed infected.
