The Spanish citizen isolated in the Hospital Central de la Defensa Gómez Ulla after testing positive “provisional” in the PCR test for hantavirus has presented during the night “low-grade fever and respiratory symptoms”, according to the Ministry of Health. Even so, health authorities assure that the patient “is apparently stable and without evident clinical worsening” while continuing under medical surveillance in the military hospital center.
On the other hand, the other 13 Spanish passengers from the MV Hondius transferred to Gómez Ulla show no new clinical developments after having tested negative in the PCR tests performed after their arrival in Madrid. Among the repatriated there are five people from Cataluña, three from the Comunidad de Madrid, three from the Principado de Asturias, one from Castilla y León, another from Galicia and one more from the Comunidad Valenciana.
The health operation deployed by the Government to attend to the repatriated passengers from the cruise ship affected by the hantavirus outbreak has also led to the reinforcement of the staff of the Gómez Ulla Hospital with 90 additional professionals. The 14 Spanish passengers must remain in preventive quarantine at the center while medical and epidemiological controls continue to rule out new contagions related to the outbreak detected on the MV Hondius.
