Eight cases of hantavirus - three confirmed and five suspected - have been identified in passengers who were on the MV Hondius ship, the World Health Organization has said in its latest update. Work is underway to trace the contacts of anyone who may have been exposed to the virus. Operator Oceanwide Expeditions said the first case of the illness was identified on 4 May. Three passengers died before this date - one is confirmed to have had the virus, while the other two deaths are under investigation. Health officials have stressed that the risk of transmission to the wider public is low. After three passengers were evacuated, the vessel is now on its way to the Canary Islands, where the 146 people still on board will disembark under strict conditions.
