Kyiv • UNN
The vessel MV Hondius has departed Tenerife for Rotterdam for disinfection following a hantavirus outbreak. Passengers were evacuated by plane to Australia and the Netherlands.
The liner MV Hondius, where an outbreak of hantavirus was detected, has begun to slowly move away from the port of Granadilla in Tenerife, UNN reports with reference to Sky News.
"Mission accomplished," says Mónica García, Spain's Minister of Health, as the ship begins its journey.
The vessel will head to Rotterdam in the Netherlands, where the remaining crew will disembark and the ship will be disinfected.
Addendum
The last two buses carrying passengers and part of the crew of the MV Hondius have departed for the airport.
As the first bus left the port, one man could be seen waving his hands and making a heart shape.
Passengers are expected to fly to Australia and the Netherlands on evacuation flights later today.
