Canada monitors 3 passengers after MV Hondius return — Hantavirus C Est Quoi

Two Canadians who had been aboard the MV Hondius returned to Canada before hantavirus c est quoi was identified on the cruise ship, and one person on the same return flight is now in Quebec. Marjorie Michel said the three people are asymptomatic and have been told to quarantine while local authorities monitor them for symptoms.

The two Canadians who returned are in Ontario. The third person, who was on the same return flight, is in Quebec and could also have been infected. All three received quarantine instructions, and all three are under surveillance by local authorities, according to Marjorie Michel and Anita Anand on Thursday.

The detail that matters for passengers is the split between those already back in Canada and the four Canadians still on the ship. Affaires mondiales Canada contacted the four Canadians remaining on the MV Hondius, while the Canadian government created a strategic response team to handle the case as the ship heads toward Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

Anita Anand said, "Le soutien consulaire sera en place quand le bateau arrivera au port, ce qui n’arrivera pas avant quelques jours". The consular team sent to Tenerife is meant to ensure that public health protocols are respected when passengers disembark and afterward, giving Canadian travelers a named point of contact before the ship reaches port.

The correction attached to the case matters for the passenger list: one of the Canadians aboard the MV Hondius is in Ontario, not Quebec, and the person in Quebec was on the return flight rather than on the cruise ship. That leaves Canada’s active response centered on three people already back home under monitoring, four Canadians still at sea, and a consular team waiting for the ship’s arrival in Tenerife.
