 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.

 Spain confirms new hantavirus case tied to cruise ship outbreak that killed three people


 Spain has confirmed a new case of hantavirus linked to the cruise ship MV Hondius, which was previously tied to an outbreak that killed three people earlier this month.

The Spanish Health Ministry said a Spanish national under preventive quarantine in Madrid tested positive for the virus while being monitored as a close contact of an earlier confirmed case. The patient had already been under clinical observation at Gómez Ulla Hospital and was later transferred to a high-level isolation unit for continued treatment and supervision.

Officials said the infection was identified through routine testing of individuals connected to the outbreak cluster. The ministry added that the patient was already within an established isolation and surveillance system, and therefore, the new case does not change the overall public health risk or current response measures.

Hantavirus, which is rare in humans and more commonly found in parts of South America, has never before been recorded on a cruise ship. Health authorities have emphasized that the situation remains contained, with no new deaths reported since the outbreak was first identified and reported earlier this month.

The outbreak was traced to the MV Hondius, which completed a seven-week voyage spanning roughly 8,500 miles and was later linked to up to 11 infections and three deaths. Passengers and crew were disembarked in stages, with many placed under quarantine in their home countries, including travelers from the United States.
