Two British people are getting better after a virus outbreak on a cruise ship. This virus is called hantavirus. It is a serious illness. Doctors and health officials say that these two people are now improving.
The first person is a 69-year-old British man. On 27 April, doctors moved him to South Africa. He is now in a private hospital in Sandton, Johannesburg. He is in the intensive care unit. This is a special place for patients who need a lot of help from doctors. His health is getting better every day.
The second person is Martin Anstee. He is a 56-year-old expedition guide. He is not in South Africa. Instead, he is in the Netherlands. Medical experts say that he is also improving. He is receiving good care in Europe.
The problem started on a cruise ship. When people get very sick on a ship, they must move to a hospital on land. This is called a medical evacuation. It is important to move them quickly to get help. In this case, the ship staff and doctors worked together to save them.
The two men are in different countries, but they are both doing well. This shows that international medical teams can work together. One man is in South Africa and the other is in the Netherlands. The doctors are watching them very closely. This is good news for everyone.
