Army parachutes aid to Tristan da Cunha to treat suspected Hantavirus case

After a Hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship, the British Army and Royal Air Force parachuted medics, oxygen, and emergency supplies onto Tristan da Cunha to treat a Briton who had disembarked from the vessel and was suspected of infection. With the island's medical resources critically low, officials stressed that the safety of British citizens was their top priority.
