Cruise ship denied docking amid suspected hantavirus outbreak
A report said an American passenger spoke from onboard after the vessel was refused permission to dock Monday.
A cruise ship was refused permission to dock on Monday amid what the report described as a suspected hantavirus outbreak. The report did not state that an outbreak had been confirmed.
An American passenger subsequently spoke from onboard the ship, according to the report. No details about the passenger’s comments were included in the supplied information.
The supplied facts did not identify the ship, its operator, the intended port, the authority that denied docking permission or the location of the vessel. They also did not provide information about suspected cases, symptoms, testing, treatment or the number of passengers and crew aboard.
No official health authority, port authority or cruise company statement was included in the supplied information. The account therefore remains limited to the reported docking refusal and the description of the health concern as a suspected outbreak.
