Four people are in quarantine after sharing a flight with the Dutch couple linked to the MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak, France's health ministry said. A French citizen has developed mild symptoms associated with the virus and is now isolating, although they never boarded the cruise ship. The Dutch woman disembarked in Saint Helena on April 24 carrying her husband's body after he died from the virus.
