\n

A Swiss man who returned from a cruise linked to a deadly hantavirus outbreak<\/a> has tested positive and been isolated, as health officials say the strain involved can spread between people in rare cases \u2014 though the overall risk remains low.<\/p>\n

Health authorities in Switzerland confirmed the man recently traveled aboard the MV Hondius, the cruise ship at the center of an outbreak that has already killed three passengers and sickened<\/a> several others.<\/p>\n

Swiss health officials said the man sought medical care after developing symptoms and was immediately placed in isolation. His wife, who traveled with him, is self-isolating but has not shown symptoms.<\/p>\n

The officials confirmed his case involves the Andes strain of hantavirus.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization<\/a> said the Andes strain is a rare form of hantavirus that can spread between humans through close contact \u2014 unlike most hantavirus infections, which are typically linked to exposure to rodent droppings.<\/p>\n

South African health authorities said they also identified the Andes strain in two other passengers who were on the ship.<\/p>\n

The outbreak left the Dutch-flagged cruise ship stranded off the coast<\/a> of Cape Verde, with nearly 150 passengers and crew on board as authorities scramble to contain the situation.<\/p>\n

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday that three suspected cases were evacuated from the vessel and are being transported to the Netherlands for treatment.<\/p>\n

“At this stage, the overall public health risk remains low,” Tedros said.<\/p>\n

Authorities stress that while the Andes strain can spread person-to-person, transmission remains uncommon and typically requires close, prolonged contact.<\/p>\n

Health officials have launched monitoring efforts for passengers both on board and those who have already disembarked, coordinating across multiple countries as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n

The ship departed Argentina on April 1 and was scheduled to travel through the Southern Atlantic<\/span>, including stops in Antarctica, before the outbreak disrupted its itinerary.<\/p>\n

Spain<\/a> has agreed to receive the vessel in the Canary Islands, though local officials have raised concerns about potential risk to residents.<\/p>\n

Hantavirus infections are rare<\/a> but can be severe, with symptoms ranging from fever and fatigue to serious respiratory illness.<\/p>\n
