08.05.2026The Day of the Second Hantavirus Suspect

The hantavirus crisis on the cruise ship Hondius intensified on May 8. In the morning, Sanidad insisted no Spanish passengers opposed quarantine, while experts warned transmission was easier than expected. By midday, a suspected case emerged in Alicante: a woman who had contact with a deceased passenger. In the afternoon, a second suspected case was confirmed in Catalonia, linked to the same flight. The government prepared a legal report to support quarantine protocols, and the WHO confirmed five cases. The ship's disembarkation plan involved zodiacs and direct buses to planes. Meanwhile, Ayuso canceled her Mexico trip, accusing the government of expulsion, and a US court ruled Trump's universal tariff illegal.
