“The last 24 passengers aboard the MV Hondius are set to evacuate the ship on May 11”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While evidence confirms an outbreak on the MV Hondius in April/May 2026 and mentions passengers returning to the Netherlands from Tenerife, there is no specific mention of '24 passengers' evacuating on 'May 11'. One source mentions 29 passengers arriving in Tenerife on a Sunday, but this does not match the specific count or date provided in the claim.
