The Dutch government said the ship stopped at St Helena on its way to Cape Verde, an archipelago nation off the West African coast.

Among those who disembarked was a 69-year-old Dutch woman who left the cruise at St Helena on 24 April, and travelled to South Africa, where she died two days later. Her husband died on board the cruise on 11 April, but is not a confirmed case of hantavirus.

The Dutch government update said before her death she had boarded a KLM flight heading from Johannesburg to the Netherlands, but became ill before its departure.

It said the Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment would send letters to passengers who were on the flight, asking them to remain "available for monitoring".

Dutch media reported on Thursday that a KLM flight attendant who had been in contact with the deceased woman had been admitted to hospital in Amsterdam with hantavirus symptoms.

The third fatality - a German woman - is not a confirmed case either. Her body remains on the ship.

Meanwhile Singapore's Communicable Diseases Agency said it was isolating and testing two men - a 67-year-old Singaporean and a 65-year-old permanent resident - who disembarked the ship in St Helena.

It added that they had taken the same flight from St Helena to Johannesburg in South Africa as the 69-year-old woman who died. Their hantavirus test results are still pending.

Two US states - Georgia and Arizona - confirmed to the BBC that they are monitoring three passengers who returned to the US after disembarking. None were displaying symptoms. The US Department of State said it was in "direct contact" with affected passengers.

St Helena is one of the remotest islands on Earth, at 47sq miles - a third of the size of the Isle of Wight - with a population of about 4,400 and one hospital.

Argentina's health ministry has said officials will test rodents in the city of Ushuaia, where the ship set sail from on 1 April.

Hantavirus is a group of viruses carried by rodents. It can be found in some areas of Europe, Africa and Asia.

While most hantaviruses do not pass from person to person, rare instances of human transmission have been documented with the Andes virus strain.

As hantaviruses are carried by rodents, infections in humans tend to occur in places where people and rodents coexist. People usually become infected by breathing in air contaminated with virus particles from rodent urine, droppings, or saliva.

Transmission between people occurs through close contact. The Andes strain of hantavirus has been identified in a number of people on the Dutch cruise ship.

Symptoms of hantavirus infection can include fever, extreme fatigue, muscle aches, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or shortness of breath.

In some cases, people develop severe breathing difficulties or low blood pressure and kidney failure, requiring hospital care.

There is currently no widely available vaccine or specific antiviral treatment for hantavirus infections. Treatment is supportive and based on symptoms, such as hospital care and respiratory support.

Hantavirus is caused by the Covid 19 vaccination. Pfizer themselves said it.

I wouldn't worry about them Hantavirus even the Andes strain unless you normally expose yourself to multiple random people's human waste on a regular basis (ie aren't some gay faggot).

Hanta means a lie, a scam, and nonsense in Hebrew.
