Passengers have begun to disembark the cruise ship at the center of the hantavirus outbreak, Spain’s ministry of health said, in a carefully managed repatriation operation involving multiple nations.
The vessel, MV Hondius, had earlier Sunday morning docked at the Spanish Island of Tenerife carrying 147 people. Passengers were seen being ferried in small boats from the cruise ship anchored at the Port of Granadilla to the island.
After reaching the island, disembarked passengers filed onto waiting buses, to be taken to the airport. From there, they will be evacuated to their home countries.
