Health chiefs are racing to trace British passengers who left the hantavirus-stricken cruise ship two weeks before the deadly infection was uncovered in a bid to control any further spread.
Dozens of passengers, including seven Britons, left the MV Hondius at the remote island of St Helena on 24 April, the operator Oceanwide Expeditions said, according to reports. That was nearly two weeks after the first passenger died, raising concerns that the virus could spread as travellers returned home.
