Tedros said. <\/p>\n<p>More than 120 passengers and crew on the MV Hondius were flown out from Spain&#8217;s Canary Islands on Sunday and Monday, and countries have adopted different health measures for their returning evacuees. <\/p>\n<p>Most countries have followed the WHO&#8217;s guidelines, which include a 42-day quarantine and constant monitoring of high-risk contacts. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope they (countries) will follow the advice and recommendations we are making,&#8221;

because the risk to the public from hantavirus is &#8220;much, much lower&#8221; than what we saw with the COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s very different than COVID, and we should treat it differently than COVID,&#8221; Bhattacharya told &#8220;CBS Evening News&#8221; anchor Tony Dokoupil on Monday when asked about the lack of daily briefings on the outbreak.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The MV Hondius presented diplomatic challenges as different countries negotiated over who would receive it and treat its passengers. <\/p>\n<p>Cape Verde, an archipelago off Africa&#8217;s west coast, refused to receive the ship, and it remained anchored offshore the capital Praia as three people were evacuated to Europe by air last week. <\/p>\n<p>Spain allowed the vessel to anchor off the Canary Islands for the evacuation of passengers and crew on Sunday and Monday, but Cape Verde&#8217;s regional government fiercely opposed the measure. <\/p>\n<p>Defending his government&#8217;s policy, Sanchez said the &#8220;world does not need more selfishness or more fear. What it needs are countries that show solidarity and want to step forward.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\"
