This is The Guardian.

The Reason why everyone is really worried about this story is because we all remember what happened during COVID when there were cruise liners, stranded.

Three people are dead after a suspected outbreak of what's called Hanta virus aboard a cruise ship,

nearly 150 people on board.

It's now being confirmed as this Andes strain of this virus.

A 70-year-old Dutchman got sick and then eventually died.

Everyone's going to be isolating in their rooms.

Some of the rooms are very small. They've just got little portholes. There's going to be a in their rooms. Some of the rooms are very small,

they've just got little portholes, there's going to be a lot of worry. And then, of course, the ship

still needs to operate. Three people have been evacuated from a cruise ship with an outbreak of a deadly

virus. What do we know about the situation on board? From the Guardians today and Focus, this is the

Well, joining me is Oliver Holmes, who is a Guardian reporter who's been across this for us.

I was surprised to read, given that this story has been making headlines in the last few days,

the outbreak of the infection of hanta virus,

people set off on this cruise liner in early April. Tell me about the trajectory, what's happened

since then. Yeah, so they set off from Argentina and somebody,

a 70-year-old Dutchman, got sick quite quickly after that. It's clear that he got sicker and

sicker and then eventually died, but the ship carried on. It's a sort of luxury cruise ship.

Yeah, the MV Hondias, it's called. Exactly. It's a Dutch ship luxury cruise ship. Yeah, the M.V. Hondias, it's called.
