Caption: Passengers Leave Hospital After Hantavirus Cruise Isolation. Twenty-two people evacuated from a cruise ship following a hantavirus outbreak are set to leave hospital after completing isolation in the UK. The passengers and crew, who arrived from the MV Hondius, have been isolating at Arrowe Park Hospital in Merseyside after returning from the South Atlantic. They will now continue isolating at home for several weeks as a precaution. The group includes British nationals as well as passengers from Germany and Japan while another 10 people are also being brought to the UK from Saint Helena and Ascension Island. The UK Health Security Agency said the NHS is well prepared to respond if anyone becomes unwell. Officials stressed that those affected are currently healthy and asymptomatic, with ongoing support and monitoring in place.
