This aerial picture shows a general view of the cruise ship MV Hondius stationary off the port of Praia, the capital of Cape Verde, on May 4, 2026. Strict precautionary measures including isolation are in place on a cruise ship anchored off Cape Verde on which a suspected outbreak of hantavirus has killed three people, the cruise operator said on May 4, 2026. The Canary Islands are being "considered" for disembarkation of the boat, which has 149 people of 23 nationalities on board, after Cape Verde refused entry, Oceanwide Expeditions said in a statement.
