A cruise ship linked to a deadly hantavirus outbreak—with 3 deaths and multiple infections—is seeking to dock in the Canary Islands in Spain.

The Canary Islands are not just another port.

They are a major international transit hub and a direct gateway into Europe, with constant movement of tourists, workers, and cargo.

Docking anywhere would mean a direct threat the virus would spread and reaches US, UK and other key destinations.

Allowing docking without full containment risks:

Spreading illness into mainland Europe
Exposing port workers and travelers
Turning a contained outbreak into a wider crisis
Nearly 150 people remain onboard, with cases still under investigation.

This situation must be handled with extreme caution.

We call on:

Spanish authorities
Canary Islands port authorities
to deny docking and manage the situation remotely until full medical clearance is guaranteed.

Sign to demand: protect Europe—no docking without full containment.
