AMSTERDAM, May 4 (Reuters) - The third person who died on a cruise ship dealing with a suspected hantavirus outbreak was a German national, a spokesperson for shipowner Oceanwide Expeditions said in a statement on Monday.

The statement also said that hantavirus had so far only been confirmed in the case of a British man being treated in South Africa and that the ship, currently anchored in front of Cape Verde, was considering sailing to Las Palmas or Tenerife for disembarkation.

AMSTERDAM, 4 maggio (Reuters) - La terza persona morta su una nave da crociera a causa di una sospetta epidemia di hantavirus era di nazionalità tedesca, ha dichiarato lunedì un portavoce dell’armatore Oceanwide Expeditions.

La dichiarazione diceva anche che l’hantavirus era stato finora confermato solo nel caso di un uomo britannico in cura in Sudafrica e che la nave, attualmente ancorata di fronte a Capo Verde, stava valutando di salpare per Las Palmas o Tenerife per lo sbarco.
