WHO says MV Hondius ship operation completed in Tenerife, monitoring to continue
The World Health Organization says the complex international operation to disembark and repatriate passengers from the hantavirus-hit MV Hondius has been completed in Tenerife. The agency said the operation concluded after coordinated action involving multiple international parties.
WHO publicly praised Spain's leadership in managing the disembarkation and repatriation effort. The source does not provide the number of passengers involved, the timing of the outbreak, or any additional details on the ship's current status.
WHO also warned that monitoring and coordination must continue in the coming weeks. The statement indicates the incident response phase has ended in Tenerife, but follow-up international health coordination remains active.
No casualties, infections beyond the hantavirus reference, or further consequences are stated in the source. The report is limited to the completion of the ship operation and the call for continued global coordination.
