Hanta virus on a ship: Experts give all-clear

118

The Hanta virus is on the ship MV Hondius. The ship left Argentina in April. About 150 people are on the ship. 3 people died from the virus. They are a couple from the Netherlands. And a woman from Germany.

The ship sails to the island Tenerife. It arrives there on Sunday. People must stay on the ship. They fly home from the ship. People on Tenerife protest. They fear the virus.

Experts from the WHO say: There is no big danger. The Hanta virus is not like Corona. You only get sick with very close contact. Some people tell lies online. They say Ivermectin helps. Doctors warn: This is false. Ivermectin is for animals. It does not help humans.
