Outbreak Investigation on the MV Hondius

This all happened on the MV Hondius . A Dutch expedition ship. It was carrying over a hundred and forty people, passengers and crew, after making a trip through South America and Antarctica.

Health officials are now scrambling. They are trying to trace passengers who got off before the outbreak was even spotted. So far, three people are dead. Several others are sick. And contacts are being watched across more than a dozen countries.

Investigators in Argentina are pointing toward a birdwatching trip near Ushuaia. That’s where they think the infections might have started.

Things are still unfolding.

The WHO weighed in. They said the public health risk is low.

It’s a serious mess. People are trying to figure out how this spread. The ship is still there. And the trail of infection stretches across continents.
