The handling of the MV Hondius in Granadilla was highlighted for its efficiency. A representative from the Ministry of Health expressed gratitude to the ship's captain for their collaboration and excellent work during the operation.
“"I appreciate the great work and wish you the best for the rest of your journey. Good luck, thank you very much, and you will always have your home here, in Spain."
Furthermore, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has confirmed that the hantavirus detected on the MV Hondius has not mutated. Available information indicates that the virus is behaving normally in regions where it is endemic.
“"All sequences obtained to date are practically identical, meaning that probably only a single case of transmission from an infected animal to a human occurred."
This clarification from the ECDC provides reassurance regarding the outbreak's evolution, confirming that the situation is under control and the virus is not exhibiting unusual behavior.
