The Valencian scientist, who was admitted to the hospital on Sunday, has used her second day to convey a pragmatic and optimistic attitude through her social media. She posted an image on Instagram showing an elastic band, indicating that exercise will continue to be part of her daily routine.
“"You have to do what you can with what you've got."
The quarantine, which will last until June 17, is a preventive measure due to the hantavirus outbreak detected on the cruise ship MV Hondius. The scientist was evacuated from Tenerife by a Spanish Air Force plane along with thirteen other Spaniards, to complete the 42 days of isolation.
Before her arrival in the Canary Islands, the oceanographer had already stated on social media that she was well, expressing gratitude for the support received. Her professional career includes a PhD in Physical Oceanography from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, and her participation as a juror in the Jaume I Awards in 2023 in the field of Environmental Protection.
Her research has focused on Antarctica, where she has led programs to study the coldest water mass on the planet and its relationship with climate change.
