France has confirmed that a passenger who was flown back to France Sunday from a cruise ship struck by a deadly hantavirus outbreak has tested positive and several other contact cases are being isolated. The health ministry says France is equipped to handle an increase in cases.
Health Minister Stéphanie Rist confirmed that one of the five French passengers flown back from the MV Hondius cruise ship at the centre of the outbreak tested positive after exhibiting symptoms on Sunday.
