BBC World reports: Virus-hit cruise ship MV Hondius is set to arrive in Tenerife on Sunday, after being anchored for three days near Cape Verde. Authorities have said precautions will be taken to ensure passengers do not make direct contact with locals. It comes as the World Health Organization said the hantavirus outbreak on board was not the start of a pandemic.
