世界卫生组织周三表示，三名疑似感染汉坦病毒的患者已从“洪迪厄斯号”邮轮撤离，正前往荷兰接受治疗。世卫组织称，这三人分别为德国人、荷兰人和英国人，其中最后一位是船员。
此次罕见的病毒疫情已造成3人死亡。
对于船上约150名乘客而言，这场噩梦般的经历又迎来最新转折：加那利群岛领导人否决了该邮轮停靠当地的计划。
此前由西班牙政府与世卫组织协调的方案，原本计划在三名患者撤离后，让该邮轮前往加那利群岛接受“全面调查”和“全面检查”。
但该群岛大区政府领导人费尔南多·克拉维霍周三否决了这一方案，并表示已请求与西班牙左翼首相佩德罗·桑切斯举行会谈。

作为保守派反对党成员的克拉维霍周三在社交媒体发文称：“加那利群岛始终行事负责，但无法接受背着加那利群岛各机构做出的决定，也无法接受未向民众提供充分信息的方案。”
一位熟悉大区总统府的消息人士周三对法新社表示，原计划将染病的船上医生撤离至加那利群岛的航班已被取消。
西班牙卫生部随后宣布，将改为在荷兰对患者进行治疗。
就在这一消息传出之际，南非当局周三证实，他们在两名曾登上该邮轮的感染者体内发现了所谓的安第斯型汉坦病毒。这种主要在阿根廷和智利发现的病毒毒株，可在人与人之间传播，这与其他所有汉坦病毒毒株都不同。
同样在周三，瑞士当局宣布，一名曾搭乘该邮轮并于4月底回国的男子，汉坦病毒安第斯毒株检测结果呈阳性。
“目前瑞士民众不存在感染风险，”他们在一份声明中表示。
法国卫生部告诉BFM电视台，该国已确认一名“接触者”。据信，该男子与4月底被撤离至约翰内斯堡接受治疗的两名患者之一乘坐了同一航班。
目前有一名英国公民在南非的重症监护室接受治疗。法国当局提及的可能是另一名被撤离至约翰内斯堡的患者：一名69岁的荷兰女性，她于4月24日因“胃肠道症状”下船，在“飞往约翰内斯堡的航班上病情恶化”后于两天后死亡，世卫组织表示。
这使得疑似或确诊病例总数达到9例：3人死亡，5人确认正在接受治疗，还有一名法国患者，目前披露的细节极少。
邮轮运营商海洋远征探险公司表示，两名传染病专家已于周三从荷兰启程前往该邮轮，并将“在船只预计离开佛得角后留在船上”。
这艘悬挂荷兰国旗的“洪迪厄斯号”豪华邮轮于4月1日从阿根廷乌斯怀亚起航，自周日起一直停泊在非洲西海岸外的佛得角群岛附近海域。
世卫组织驻佛得角代表安·林德斯特伦周二对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻记者拉米·因诺森西奥表示，考虑到人际传播的可能性较低，汉坦病毒不存在大流行级别的威胁。
她补充道，西班牙和荷兰当局正在“紧锣密鼓地讨论”船上乘客的后续安排。船员们已被要求尽可能留在客舱内。
“如果需要实施隔离，那将由当时的西班牙或荷兰卫生部门做出决定，并与世卫组织的建议密切协作，”林德斯特伦说。
她表示，如有必要，隔离期可能长达两个月，因为汉坦病毒的潜伏期为1至8周。
“8周的隔离期实在太过漫长，”她补充道。
林德斯特伦称，她与船上一名志愿医生保持联系，对方告诉她，乘客们“出人意料地适应得不错”，尽管他们急切想知道下一个停靠港会是哪里。
“我们已经收到了船上不少乘客的消息，”世界卫生组织流行病和大流行防范与应对部门主任玛丽亚·范·克尔霍夫周二表示。“我们想让你们知道，我们正在与邮轮运营商合作，也在与你们所属的国家合作。我们听到了你们的声音，我们知道你们感到害怕。”
3 evacuated from hantavirus cruise ship as Canary Islands does about-face, opts not to let it dock there

Three patients suspected of having the hantavirus have been evacuated from the MV Hondius cruise ship and are on their way to the Netherlands to receive medical care, the World Health Organization said Wednesday. The three are German, Dutch and British, the last of whom is a crew member, according to the WHO.
The rare outbreak of the virus has already killed three.
And in the latest twist in the hellish ordeal for the 150 or so passengers on board, the leader of the Canary Islands has rejected a plan for the ship to dock there.
The plan, coordinated between the Spanish government and the WHO, had been for the ship to head to the Canary Islands for a “full investigation” and “full inspection” after the three were evacuated.
But the leader of the archipelago’s regional government, Fernando Clavijo, rejected the idea Wednesday, saying he has requested a meeting with Spain’s socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

In a social media post Wednesday, Clavijo, who is part of the conservative opposition, wrote: “The Canary Islands always acts with responsibility, but it cannot accept decisions taken behind the backs of the Canary Islands institutions and without sufficient information to the population.”
A flight planned to evacuate the ship’s doctor, who has been taken sick, to the Canary Islands was cancelled, a source close to the regional presidency told the French news agency AFP on Wednesday.
Spain’s health ministry announced later that they would instead be treated in the Netherlands.
The news comes as South African authorities confirmed Wednesday that they had identified the so-called Andes strain of the hantavirus in two people previously on the cruise. The Andes strain, which is found primarily in Argentina and Chile, can be transmitted from human to human, unlike any other strain of the virus.
Also on Wednesday, Swiss authorities announced that a man who previously travelled on the ship and returned home at the end of April has also tested positive for the Andes strain of the virus.
“There is currently no risk to the Swiss public,” they said in a statement.
And the French ministry of health has told BFM TV that a French “contact case” can been confirmed. The man is believed to have travelled on the same flight as one of the two patients evacuated to Johannesburg for treatment in late April.
There is currently one British national in South Africa in intensive care. French authorities are likely referring to the other patient evacuated to Johannesburg: a 69-year-old Dutch woman who got off the boat with “gastrointestinal symptoms” on April 24 and died two days later, after her condition “deteriorated during a flight to Johannesburg,” the WHO said.
That brings the total number of suspected or confirmed cases to nine: three dead, five confirmed as receiving treatment, and the Frenchman, about whom there have been few details given.
The ship’s operator, Oceanwide Expeditions, said two infectious disease specialists were en route Wednesday from the Netherlands to the ship and will “remain with the vessel after its anticipated departure from Cape Verde.”
The Dutch-flagged MV Hontius, a luxury cruise-liner, left Ushuaia in Argentina on April 1. It has been anchored off the island of Cape Verde off Africa’s west coast since Sunday.
Ann Lindstrand, the WHO’s representative in Cape Verde, told CBS News’ Ramy Inocencio on Tuesday that there is no risk of a pandemic-level threat with the hantavirus, given the low likelihood of human-to-human transmission.
Spanish and Dutch authorities are “intensely discussing” what will happen next to the passengers on board, she added. They have been told to remain in their cabins as much as possible.
“If there is the need for a quarantine, that will be a decision of the health authorities in Spain or Holland at that point in time, with the close collaboration with the advice of WHO,” Lindstrand said.
If needed, a quarantine could last as long as two months, since the incubation period for hantavirus is between one and eight weeks, she said.
“Eight weeks is a horribly long time to be in quarantine,” she added.
Lindstrand said she is in touch with a volunteer doctor on the boat who told her that passengers were “coping surprisingly well,” though they are anxious to know what their next port of call will be.
“We have heard from quite a few people on the boat,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, the World Health Organization’s director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention, on Tuesday. “We just want you to know we are working with the ship’s operators. We are working with the countries where you are from. We hear you. We know that you are scared.”
