It's a lot harder to spread, so please be reassured.

I think it's also quite evident how seriously they are taking this, though, that the World Health Organization boss

director, sorry, Tedros Ghebreyesus was actually in Tenerife yesterday to oversee the evacuation of the passengers from that cruise ship and to reassure locals in Tenerife that there was no wider threat because they were really worried, the locals there in Tenerife.

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

This is an anti-strain of the virus.

It passes.

It can pass from human to human, but it is very difficult to pass from human to human.

And that's the key thing that he was trying to reiterate yesterday, as mentioned a few minutes ago, that there were demonstrations there in Tenerife.

So in order to ensure that there was as little contact as possible with locals there,

As you probably saw, you and your viewers, your listeners, Claire, saw yesterday, the passengers were taken off the MB Honduras by tenders, taken to the quayside, checked on the quayside, then put on buses and taken directly to the airport and flown off on planes to their respective countries.

So, again, they're trying to say that, look, you know, we have got this under control.

Please be reassured this isn't another COVID situation that we had six years ago, which I think is the key thing.

Yes, exactly.

There is a case that I know of in the UK, which was sort of quite concerning, is that you and your listeners may remember there was a Dutch lady whose husband was one of the first passengers to pass away on board the MB Hondias.

And she, at the end of April, took an Airlink flight from St Helena, which is a little island in the South Atlantic, to Johannesburg.

And she was on board a little shuttle plane with around 80 other passengers.

And they have been contact tracing those 80 passengers on that flight because the lady in question, the Dutch lady, then tried to board a Dutch flight, KLM flight to Amsterdam.

But the crew on that KLM flight were so concerned for her health that they disembarked her from that plane.

And she later passed away from Hantavirus herself as well.

But we know that there was a passenger on board that Airlink flight, a British man, who says that he wasn't contacted at all.
