  • Ibn Hattuta confirmed that there are no new deaths or infections among the passengers.
  • Remaining travelers reported to be in "excellent health" with no active symptoms.

Traveler Ibn Hattuta, who is currently aboard the MV Hondius, provided an update to Roya News regarding the health situation following the Hantavirus outbreak.

"In terms of new injuries or deaths, there are currently none," Ibn Hattuta stated.

He emphasized that the atmosphere on the ship has stabilized, noting that "everyone on the ship is in excellent health and there are no symptoms."

No new fatalities reported

Hattuta clarified that the death toll has not increased since the initial fatalities were recorded earlier this month.

"There are no new deaths, and not even any new injuries," he added, seeking to reassure the public and the families of those on board.

This statement comes as a relief after a week of high-stakes medical evacuations and international concern over a potential human-to-human transmissible strain of the virus.
