05.05.2026The Day of the Hantavirus Cruise Ship Standoff

The day was dominated by the hantavirus outbreak on the cruise ship Hondius, with conflicting statements between the WHO and Spanish health authorities about its destination. In the morning, the WHO said the ship would dock in the Canary Islands, but Sanidad denied any decision. By midday, an agreement was reached to send epidemiologists to inspect the ship. In the afternoon, Spain proposed evacuating infected passengers to the Netherlands and Germany to avoid a Canary Islands stop. By evening, Spain reversed course and agreed to host the ship in the Canaries after a WHO request. Meanwhile, the Ábalos trial continued with new recordings, and Atlético Madrid was eliminated from the Champions League by Arsenal amid refereeing controversy.
