WATCH: Health officials track hantavirus ship passengers
Health authorities on at least four continents are tracking more than two dozen passengers who left the cruise ship at the center of a hantavirus outbreak.
The passengers from at least 12 different countries left the ship two weeks after the first passenger died on board.
The vessel itself is now en route to Spain’s Canary Islands, where officials are debating whether it will dock or anchor offshore.
Three passengers have died in the outbreak, and several others are sick. But the Netherlands-based operator of the cruise ship says none of those still on board are currently showing signs of symptoms.
