AMSTERDAM, May 4 (Reuters) – The third person who died on a cruise ship dealing with a suspected hantavirus outbreak was a German national, a spokesperson for shipowner Oceanwide Expeditions said in a statement on Monday.
The statement also said that hantavirus had so far only been confirmed in the case of a British man being treated in South Africa and that the ship, currently anchored in front of Cape Verde, was considering sailing to Las Palmas or Tenerife for disembarkation.
