Health officials briefing on cruise hantavirus cases
Officials from Nebraska Medicine are expected to hold a press conference on May 11, 2026, after the arrival of American passengers exposed to hantavirus aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship.
The U.S. passengers disembarked from the MV Hondius on May 10 after the ship was anchored near Tenerife, in Spain’s Canary Islands. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a team of epidemiologists and medical professionals was sent to Spain to conduct exposure risk assessments for each U.S. passenger and provide recommendations for the level of monitoring required.
