Analysis Summary
About 30 passengers left the MV Hondius cruise ship at St. Helena on April 24 after a hantavirus outbreak that has killed at least 3 people. Health officials across a dozen countries are now tracking these passengers to monitor for symptoms, since the outbreak wasn't detected until after dispersal. The headline rounds '30' to 'about 40' — a minor variance but factually grounded.
