5:03Now PlayingA Dutch cruise ship with a hantavirus outbreak on board is to sail to the Canary Islands, Spain's health ministry has said.
Two crew members, including the ship's reportedly British doctor, require urgent medical care and were due to be evacuated on a hospital aircraft to the Canary Islands on Tuesday. A third person linked to a German national who died was also due to be evacuated.
Officials were determining which passengers required urgent evacuation from Cape Verde, where the ship was docked, the health ministry added.
Three passengers who were aboard the MV Hondius have died, after it set sail from Argentina on its voyage across the Atlantic Ocean around a month ago.
