Overview
- An evacuation flight from Tenerife landed in Eindhoven on Sunday with 26 people from the m/v Hondius, where Dutch returnees began medical intake and a six‑week home quarantine under GGD monitoring.
- Spain received the ship at Tenerife under WHO oversight, and multiple countries and the EU organized repatriation flights to take passengers home through controlled corridors.
- France said one evacuee developed a fever during the repatriation flight to Paris and all five French passengers are now in strict isolation pending tests.
- The largely emptied Hondius is now underway to Rotterdam for professional disinfection, with a small crew aboard and the body of a deceased passenger remaining on the vessel until arrival later this week.
- The Netherlands added the Andes hantavirus variant to its A2 notifiable diseases list, citing severe illness and limited person‑to‑person spread that typically requires close, prolonged contact.
