The president of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, has opposed, against the will of Pedro Sánchez's central government, the docking of the cruise ship MV Hondius in the Canary Islands. The ship, carrying approximately 150 passengers and crew members, which sailed from southern Argentina and is currently anchored near Cape Verde, is reporting cases of hantavirus among its crew. Two passengers have been confirmed to have a rare strain of hantavirus that is transmitted between humans. aktuality.sk ↗ teraz.sk ↗
Clavijo warns that there is not enough information to guarantee the safety of the local population. He is requesting an "urgent meeting" with Prime Minister Sánchez to address the situation regarding the ship's docking in Tenerife. The Canary regional government insists that the decision on docking should not have been made without consulting representatives of the islands. El Mundo ↗ Politico Europe ↗
Meanwhile, the government in Madrid states that the decision to allow the ship to dock was made at the request of the World Health Organization (WHO). Moncloa is calling for "responsibility" in communicating about the situation in order to "avoid generating unnecessary panic" among the public. The Spanish central government emphasizes the need to provide medical assistance to the affected passengers and crew members. El Mundo ↗
