YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Residents of multiple countries, including the United States, are now being monitored for hantavirus after either disembarking or coming into contact with people who traveled on the MV Hondius, a cruise ship now tied to multiple cases of the virus.

The MV Hondius departed from its location off Cape Verde, an island nation near Africa's west coast, on May 6 and headed north. The ship will sail toward the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain.

Hantavirus is typically a rodent-borne virus, but officials have confirmed this particular strain to be the Andes virus, which can be transmitted human-to-human.
