The World Health Organisation (WHO) is working with countries involved in the response to the Hantavirus cases onboard a ship off Cabo Verde.
The organisation is also going to assist as well at the ship’s operators and carrying out risk assessments to guide next steps.
The focus includes keeping the remaining passengers and crew safe.
WHO is working with authorities to understand the source of exposure through epidemiological investigations and doing contact tracing to identify any further cases.
