A sickness is on the ship MV Hondius. It is the Hanta virus. 3 people died already. One German person died. A couple from the Netherlands died too.
The ship comes from Argentina. It wanted to go to Cape Verde. The guests can not go on land there. The officials fear the sickness. Almost 150 people are on the ship.
3 sick people leave the ship now. They need help from doctors. One man is in a hospital in South Africa. The Hanta virus comes from rodents. Rodents are small animals like mice.
People get sick from dust or bites. This is very rare on a ship. The WHO checks the case now. The WHO is the World Health Organization. The ship maybe goes to the Canary Islands.
