# MV Hondius hantavirus monitoring continues > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/hantavirus-outbreak-on-dutchregistered-mv-hondius-triggers-deaths-who-alerts-and-multinational-quara > Updated: 2026-07-28T21:06:01.000Z. Sources: 1452. Developments: 137. The World Health Organization reaffirmed on 2 July 2026 that the hantavirus outbreak linked to the Dutch‑flagged cruise ship MV Hondius is officially over, with the last monitored close contact testing negative on 25 May and no new cases reported since. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has begun risk‑based monitoring of 41 individuals who were exposed during the outbreak, including repatriated passengers in Nebraska and Atlanta, former ship travelers, and transit contacts. Monitoring will last up to 42 days with daily health‑check calls and rapid testing if symptoms appear; officials consider the public‑health risk low and have not imposed mandatory quarantine. Following the WHO’s declaration, the U.S. State Department eased its travel advisory for Argentina, labeling the hantavirus risk for most visitors "extremely low," while Canada’s guidance remains unchanged. WHO officials continue to advise vigilance among travellers and health providers but maintain that the overall risk to the public remains low. The 21‑country research programme initiated during the outbreak persists, focusing on diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccine development under the broader Pandemic Agreement agenda. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-28: Hantavirus Outbreak on Dutch‑Flagged Cruise Ship Affects Passengers from Multiple Nations WHO reports a hantavirus outbreak on a Dutch‑flagged cruise ship near Cabo Verde, with 7‑8 cases, three deaths, and evacuations to the Netherlands, UK and Germany;
