Furious locals protest arrival of hantavirus-stricken cruise ship in the Canary Islands #shorts
Rabid protesters blasted the upcoming arrival of the hantavirus-stricken cruise ship in the Canary Islands — fearing a repeat of the deadly COVID-19 outbreak that decimated tourism on the island nation.
Dozens of Tenerife islanders and dock workers marched to the island’s parliament building Friday morning chanting “We want work, not illness,” The US Sun reported, while accusing local officials of putting them at risk of the fatal rodent-borne virus ahead of the ship’s Sunday morning arrival.
Protestors carried whistles and air horns and showcased signs reading “Without protocol, no safety” and “Tenerife deserves respect! We are not second class!”
