Three suspected hantavirus patients were evacuated this morning from a cruise ship, which is now heading from Cape Verde to the Canary Islands. Those evacuated are from Britain, the Netherlands and Germany, the Dutch government says. The Spanish health minister earlier said the British national was a doctor - although the BBC now understands that is not the case. Meanwhile, it has emerged that two British people left the MV Hondius earlier in its journey and are now self isolating at home after potential exposure to the virus - read more here. The Spanish government says the MV Hondius will dock in the Canary Islands, but the islands' president says he was not consulted and considers the risk to his population "very real". But Hondius operator Oceanwide Expeditions says all 145 remaining people on board are asymptomatic, and Spain's interior minister stresses there is "no risk" to the islanders.
