A cruise ship hit by a hantavirus outbreak that has been anchored off Cape Verde began its departure from the island nation off west Africa Wednesday, an AFP journalist witnessed.

Spain’s health minister has said the vessel will dock within the next three days in Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, and all foreign passengers will be flown back to their home countries from there if their health allows.
