The Andes strain, which is found primarily in Argentina and Chile, can be transmitted from human to human, <a href=\"https:\/\/ukhsa.blog.gov.uk\/2026\/05\/05\/what-is-hantavirus-how-is-it-transmitted-and-what-are-the-symptoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unlike most other strains of the virus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also on Wednesday, Swiss authorities announced that a man who previously travelled on the ship and returned home at the end of April has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bag.admin.ch\/en\/newnsb\/p--A7yPSfxdBqR0N9kZMC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also tested positive for the Andes strain<\/a> of the virus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is currently no risk to the Swiss public,&#8221; they said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>That brings the total number of confirmed cases to eight, according to the WHO.<\/p>\n<p>The ship&#8217;s operator, Oceanwide Expeditions, said two infectious disease specialists were en route Wednesday from the Netherlands to the ship and will &#8220;remain with the vessel after its anticipated departure from Cape Verde.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s west coast since Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Ann Lindstrand, the WHO&#8217;s representative in Cape Verde, told CBS News&#8217; 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.<\/p>\n<p>Spanish and Dutch authorities are &#8220;intensely discussing&#8221; what will happen next to the passengers on board, she added. They have been told to remain in their cabins as much as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; Lindstrand said.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Eight weeks is a horribly long time to be in quarantine,&#8221; she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lindstrand said she is in touch with a volunteer doctor on the boat who told her that passengers were &#8220;coping surprisingly well,&#8221; though they are anxious to know what their next port of call will be.<\/p>\n<section
