Passengers and crew of the deadly hantavirus-hit MV Hondius who arrived in the Netherlands have all tested negative for the Andean virus, health authorities said Thursday.<\/p>\n
The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment said all passengers evacuated to the Netherlands tested negative for the dangerous variant of the hantavirus, Dutch broadcaster NOS reported.<\/p>\n
The group of 26 passengers landed in Eindhoven on Tuesday as part of an evacuation effort as the MV Hondius sailed under the Dutch flag.<\/p>\n
The Netherlands organized three flights, while the first, which arrived Sunday carried 26 passengers from the Hondius. Eight people with Dutch nationality were on that flight.<\/p>\n
The Hantavirus is a rare disease usually transmitted through infected rodents or their droppings, though the strain responsible for the current outbreak can also spread between humans.<\/p>\n
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has classified the outbreak as a Level 3 emergency response, the agency\u2019s lowest emergency activation level.<\/p>\n
The outbreak, involving the Andes strain of hantavirus, has resulted in five confirmed cases, including three deaths, according to officials from the World Health Organization (WHO).\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Burak Bir 14 May 2026\u2022Update: 14 May 2026 Passengers and crew of the deadly hantavirus-hit MV Hondius who…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11533,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[6,2504],"class_list":{"0":"post-11532","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-netherlands","8":"tag-netherlands","9":"tag-sitekeywords"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11532"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11532\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
