The cruise ship hit by a deadly hantavirus outbreak arrived early on Sunday near the Port of Granadilla in Tenerife, Reuters footage showed, where it will anchor for the evacuation of the passengers and some of the crew.

Countries are preparing to manage 140 people on a hantavirus-stricken cruise ship headed for the Canary Islands.

Some on the Spanish island worry that the imminent arrival of the MV Hondius could pose a health risk.
