The hantavirus crisis on the MV Hondius reached its climax on May 9. In the early morning, the ship arrived off Tenerife, and by late morning, the government confirmed Spanish passengers would be the first to disembark, with a court ratifying their quarantine. The operation involved zodiacs, buses, and direct flights to Madrid, with no civilian contact. By afternoon, the WHO director insisted this was not another COVID-19. Meanwhile, the funeral of two Guardia Civil officers killed in a narcolancha pursuit in Huelva sparked public anger, leaving Minister Montero isolated. A suspected case in Alicante tested negative, and a Catalan contact was quarantined at Hospital Clínic. The day ended with the ship preparing to dock at Granadilla port between 4-6 AM on May 10.
