Bill Gates’ chilling prediction for the “next pandemic” as hantavirus leaves three people dead

Three passengers have died during the ship’s voyage, and more than 150 people were left stranded off the coast of Cape Verde. The vessel has since been cleared to dock in the Canary Islands.

Health officials say the situation is being closely monitored, though the WHO stressed that the outbreak is expected to remain limited. Contact tracing efforts are now underway in several countries after some passengers left the ship before the virus was detected.

Authorities in Argentina suspect the virus may have originated from a birdwatching trip to a landfill site in Ushuaia.
