A passenger of a cruise ship that was struck by an outbreak of hantavirus has shown symptoms of the disease while being repatriated to France, the country’s prime minister has said.
Sébastien Lecornu said the French national developed symptoms while on a chartered flight from Tenerife to Paris, and so all five evacuated from the MV Hondius had been "immediately placed in strict isolation until further notice”.
Meanwhile, twenty Britons are beginning 45 days of self-isolation in the UK at Arrowe Park Hospital on Merseyside after being evacuated from the ship and flown to Manchester.
They will stay there for 72 hours, before being asked to self-isolate for a further 42 days at home.
