The World Health Organization maintained its assessment of low public health risk as the Hondius cruise ship prepared to dock in Rotterdam on Monday with 27 people remaining on board. The hantavirus outbreak detected aboard the vessel has caused three deaths and 11 confirmed cases among passengers and crew, prompting health authorities in roughly 20 countries to monitor suspected cases; the WHO stated that while additional cases could still emerge, transmission risk should diminish after disembarkation and control measures are applied.
