A French woman repatriated from a cruise ship struck by hantavirus has tested positive with the rare disease, France's health minister said Monday, in the country's first case since the outbreak. 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 radio station France Inter. FRANCE 24's Claire Paccalin reports from Paris, France.
