Passengers from the UK who are on board the hantavirus-afflicted cruise ship heading for Tenerife will be flown to Merseyside on Sunday for hospital quarantine. The 19 British passengers and three crew will be transferred to Arrowe Park hospital in Wirral, which hosted British people returning from China at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. All 146 passengers of the MV Hondius, where an outbreak has killed three people and caused an international health scare, will be screened for the infection in Tenerife on Sunday morning before being transferred to their home countries.
