Madrid, May 8 /Xin Hua/ — The Spanish health authorities have taken appropriate measures following the detection of a suspected case of infection with the virus in the city of Alicante. This was reported on Friday by the country’s Secretary of State for Health, Javier Padilla.
As noted by H. Padilla, a person who was presumably diagnosed with the disease made a trip on the same flight several weeks ago, who is also among the infected.
The official added that this person developed symptoms compatible with an antiviral infection, which the authorities are still assessing to determine whether it can be confirmed that he contracted this particular illness.
In addition, H. Padilla confirmed that all 14 Spanish passengers who boarded the MV Hondius agreed to voluntary quarantine measures to minimize the risk of further spread of the infection.
At the moment, a cruise-expedition vessel under the management of the Netherlands, which is currently heading to the Canary Islands, Spain, is associated with the death of three people.
