Three people have died on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean after a suspected hantavirus outbreak. The World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed one case of the virus but is investigating the circumstances of this incident. Reuters has reported the vessel as the MV Hondius, travelling from Argentina to Cape Verde. The virus is rarely spread between humans, typically passed from rodents via urine or faeces.
