Embassy has been in close contact with the relevant authorities

The Embassy of India in Spain has confirmed that two Indian crew members who were onboard the Dutch‑flagged cruise vessel MV Hondius, which reported a hantavirus outbreak, are ‘healthy and asymptomatic’. The ship, carrying around 150 people, had anchored off the Canary Islands before arriving in Spain as health authorities investigated several suspected cases of hantavirus infection. As per Spanish authorities and the World Health Organization, the Indian nationals were evacuated to the Netherlands for quarantine under established health‑safety protocols, with no current signs of illness. The Indian Ambassador in Madrid has been in close contact with Spanish officials and the affected crew to monitor their well‑being and ensure their safety. Passengers on the ship were allowed to disembark following WHO‑aligned guidelines, while the WHO has advised member states to take a risk‑based approach to monitoring close contacts of confirmed Andes virus cases, noting that human‑to‑human transmission of this strain is rare and usually requires prolonged, close contact. Globally, eight hantavirus cases linked to the vessel have been reported, including three deaths and six laboratory‑confirmed infections with the Andes strain. In India, health experts have stressed that these cases do not indicate any community transmission within the country and that the immediate public‑health risk remains low, given the virus’s rodent‑borne nature and limited spread between people.
