      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330459585/hantavirus-cases-from-cruise-outbreak-rise-to-13-following-new-case-in-spain</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The number of cases of Hantavirus linked ​to a cruise ship at the ‌centre of an outbreak has increased to 13, the head of the World Health Organisation ​said on Wednesday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Spain reported a ​new case among the passengers who ⁠are in quarantine, which brings the ​total number of cases to 13,” WHO ​chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a post on X.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Among them, three died, but there ​have been no new deaths since ​May 2, Ghebreyesus said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The situation remains stable. Passengers who ‌got ⁠sick are receiving needed care, while others remain in quarantine,” Ghebreyesus said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the last two weeks, all remaining passengers, ​crew members ​and ⁠medical staff disembarked the MV Hondius luxury liner at the ​centre of the outbreak.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hantaviruses are ​rodent-borne ⁠viruses that can infect people and cause illness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The WHO estimates there are ⁠10,000 ​to 100,000 human cases ​globally each year, with severity varying by strain.&lt;/p&gt;
