This MTV Uutiset graphic focuses on the international spread of a hantavirus outbreak tied to the MV Hondius cruise ship. The map visualizes the ship’s route through the South Atlantic while documenting confirmed infections, passenger deaths, evacuations, and isolation measures linked to the voyage.

The infographic uses a red travel path with numbered points to show the vessel’s movement from Ushuaia, Argentina, northward toward South Africa, Cape Verde, and Europe. Informational callouts identify key developments in the outbreak timeline, including fatalities onboard, hospitalized passengers, and quarantine actions involving travelers in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, France, and Switzerland.

Major geographic reference points such as Johannesburg, South Africa, and Atlantic transit zones are labeled to contextualize the movement of passengers and medical evacuations. The design emphasizes the growing international concern surrounding the outbreak and the risk of further spread linked to cruise travel.
