The ship will leave for a three-day trip to the Canary Islands.

Five other suspected cases of hantavirus have been identified on the ship.

Three people have died aboard the Dutch ship MV Hondius, which is anchored off the coast of Cape Verde.

Passengers are currently confined to their cabins while disinfection and other public health measures are carried out.

A Dutch passenger died on board on April 11, and their wife died on April 27; both deaths are confirmed to be connected to hantavirus.

The Canary Islands regional government opposes the MV Hondius cruise ship docking due to a hantavirus outbreak.

Two Brits are among the cases: one in intensive care in South Africa and a crew member (believed to be the ship's doctor) who was airlifted to the Netherlands.

There is no widespread panic on the ship.

Spain has granted permission for the ship to anchor at the Canary Islands, but the Canary Islands have refused to let passengers disembark.

The flight number is 4Z132.

The virus has transmitted from person to person, which is rare.

The deceased are a German man and a Dutch couple.

Spain said they have a 'moral and legal obligation' to let the MV Hondius dock.

Discussions are ongoing with authorities about arrival, quarantine, and screening procedures.

The strain of hantavirus connected to the outbreak has been confirmed to be the Andes variant.

An additional case has been confirmed in a Swiss man who had previously been on board the ship, according to the WHO.

The overall public health risk remains low.

The three evacuated are on their way for treatment in the Netherlands.

There are 19 Britons aboard the ship.

A German passenger died on May 2, but the cause is not yet confirmed.

There have been eight cases of Hantavirus linked to the MV Hondius.

Three people, including a British crew member, have been airlifted from the cruise ship MV Hondius.

The number of suspected infected individuals is increasing.

Passengers are not allowed to disembark.

The Spanish health ministry has not yet responded to requests for comment.

Spanish state broadcaster TVE reported that the cruise ship was set to dock at Tenerife, citing sources from the country's health ministry.

Clavijo has requested an urgent meeting with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to discuss the issue.

Canary Islands leader Fernando Clavijo said the decision is not based on technical criteria and lacks sufficient information to guarantee public safety.
