Hantavirus outbreak sparks misinformation on ship passenger nationalit

A deadly hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship across the Atlantic Ocean sparked global alarm, and triggered rumours about the nationalities of some of the passengers. Four Australians sailed on the stricken MV Hondius but were not among those who disembarked before the illness was reported, a list from the World Health Organization (WHO) showed. And contrary to posts online, no Taiwanese traveller was on board, according to Taiwan's health authorities and the vessel's operator.
