The transition has started. More & more people get it: we have #OnePlanet. Astronauts call it the '#OverviewEffect'. https://t.co/KIGZ6H9gti

@jackunheard Did not touch her. Look image by image. Really looks like it initially, but no.

@_moe_04_ @MackayIM @RogerSeheult @sanidadgob @HelenBranswell @j_g_allen Thanks all for clarifying that this 'close contact' looks to be a passenger (or crew) that was on the Hondius. I will delete my message where I asked for double check to prevent confusion elsewhere.

Please read this #Ebola thread. @JeremyKonyndyk knows of what he speaks.
This outbreak is going to be a beast to contain. And the longer it goes before the world mounts an effective response, the harder it's going to be to contain it.

@MackayIM @RogerSeheult @sanidadgob @HelenBranswell @j_g_allen thanks for the update @MackayIM just goes to show how tricky translation and precise wording in 'contacts' are...

[Ministerio de Sanidad @sanidadgob]

Confirmado un nuevo caso positivo de hantavirus tras PCR en una de las personas que permanecen en cuarentena preventiva en el Hospital Gómez Ulla.

Corresponde a un contacto estrecho identificado dentro del seguimiento epidemiológico activado tras la detección inicial del brote.

@MackayIM @sanidadgob I deleted my context tweet until certain

[Miriam van Gool @MiriamvGool]

@MoreauGabarain OK will delete until certain

[Miriam van Gool @MiriamvGool]

@NUnl dit gaat niet om een opvarende, maar om een 'close contact'. dat is een significant verschil.

@WhiteHouse Bye-bye, first amendment in the US. Extremely disappointing post from a formal government account. Especially one that used to be land of the free, home of the brave.

#Hantavirus update:
- no new deaths in 20 days;
- the #Netherlands reported one additional case — a crew member who left the ship in Tenerife, was repatriated, and has been isolating since;
- total number of cases up to date 12, with three deaths (all before 2 May)

The situation is stabilising. @WHO is actively monitoring all quarantined passengers and crew alongside national governments. Surveillance will continue until the incubation period ends for everyone who was on board.

@nicolexia @DrTedros person who tested positive is now in isolation in hospital

@j_g_allen One to watch: medical professional who was in close contact with Hondius passenger on Ascension medically evacuated to the UK. Symptomatic but not confirmed yet: https://t.co/N0fhNNIXyj

[Miriam van Gool @MiriamvGool]

@stanvanpelt Ik hoop het zeer - komende week blijft nog spannend. Een medisch hulpverlener die niet op de boot zat, maar op Ascension island in 'close contact' was met een passagier ban Hondius, is gisteren in de UK opgenomen met symptomen - nog niet bevestigd: https://t.co/N0fhNNIXyj
