A French national is showing hantavirus symptoms after returning from an affected cruise ship. The individual was quarantined in Paris after falling ill on a charter flight from Tenerife.

The quarantine is part of a larger effort to bring home over 90 passengers and crew members from the ship, with five passengers ordered to isolate in Paris. This move aims to prevent the virus from spreading, following the deaths of three passengers and positive tests from two more.

The situation is being closely monitored by the World Health Organization and the Spanish government to ensure the health and safety of those involved, and further decisions will be made as necessary.
