So in recent days, there have been more and more headlines of a hantavirus outbreak happening on the MV Hondias, a Dutch-flagged cruise ship.

The cruise departed from the south end of Argentina over a month ago, making stops in Antarctica, the island of St.

Helena, among other stops.

The trouble started when a man started showing symptoms like a fever, a headache, and eventually this became a respiratory illness.

He died on board, and a few weeks later, his wife did as well.

Has it already left the ship?

I've been seeing some reporting.
