YouTuber Recounts Moment Captain Announces Deaths on MV Hondius

Since April 11, three passengers who were aboard the Hondius have died and five other people have been sickened after showing symptoms of the hantavirus. The Turkish YouTuber Ruhi Çenet disembarked the ship on April 24, and told The Times how staff members reacted to the first death.

Me and my cameraman tried to isolate ourselves. We didn’t leave our cabin as much as we can. We stayed there. Management didn’t understand what was going on and didn’t give any possibility of it — of any, to any contagious disease. “Well, good morning, everybody. One of our passengers sadly passed away last night. Tragic as it is, it was due to natural causes, we believe. And also whatever health issues he was struggling with, I’m told by the doctor were not infectious.” He said a gentleman has passed away. Everyone was shocked, but the ship management tried to calm people down. So I thought there might be a fever going on around the people. That was the first initial thought, and after observing this lady struggling with her condition, I thought, it’s better to stay in the room than take any risk. For a couple of weeks, I don’t plan to go out in public and if I have any symptoms, I’m told that I have to wear a mask and call for an ambulance.
