The cruise ship at the center of a hantavirus outbreak arrived off Tenerife in Spain's Canary Islands, where the passengers and some of the crew will begin disembarking on Sunday, officials said. Nobody among more than 140 people on board the MV Hondius is showing symptoms of the virus, Spanish authorities, the World Health Organization and cruise company Oceanwide Expeditions said. Three people have died since the outbreak, and five passengers who left the ship are infected with hantavirus, which can cause life-threatening illness. The ship will not dock but remain anchored.
