French passenger from hantavirus ship tests positive: Health minister

A French woman repatriated from a cruise ship struck by hantavirus has tested positive for the rare disease, France's health minister said Monday.

The woman, one of five French passengers flown back from the MV Hondius and placed in isolation in Paris, started to feel very unwell on Sunday night and "tests came back positive," Health Minister Stephanie Rist told the France Inter radio broadcaster.
