Madrid - The arrival in Spain's Canary Islands this weekend of a cruise ship hit by an outbreak of hantavirus is reviving memories for residents of the quarantines they experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The MV Hondius, carrying 150 people, is expected to reach Tenerife on Saturday, where it will dock after Spain agreed to requests from ‌the ‌World Health Organization to receive it despite protests from the local government.The archipelago was one of the first places in Europe to undergo quarantines during the early days of the pandemic. More than 700 holidaymakers were stranded in a hotel in Tenerife for 14 days in February 2020 after authorities cloistered the compound to prevent the spread of the virus, weeks before it propagated to the rest of Europe.
