00:00Spain has agreed to receive the luxury cruise ship hit by a hantavirus outbreak that has killed three people and
00:07infected several others.
00:09With nearly 150 people on board from dozens of countries, here is how they will disembark.
00:15The MV Hondias is set to arrive in Tenerife on Sunday.
00:19Cruise operator Oceanwide Expeditions has said none of the remaining passengers currently display any symptoms.
00:25Once they arrive at the port of Granadilla, Spain's head of emergency services, Virginia Barcones, said the evacuees will be
00:32moved to the island's main airport, about 10 minutes away.
00:38They will arrive at a completely isolated, cordoned-off area.
00:42They will board vehicles that are isolated and under guard, and will proceed to a section of the airport that
00:48will be completely cordoned off.
00:50They will board the aircraft and depart.
00:55I am saying this so that the people of the Canary Islands, the men and women living there, can rest
00:59assured that there will be absolutely no possibility of contact at any time.
01:07The World Health Organization has said the wider threat to the public from the viral outbreak remains slow.
01:13The Spanish government said it expected to know on Friday which countries would send charter airplanes to Tenerife to evacuate
01:20their nationals aboard the ship.
01:22The U.S. and Britain have already confirmed they will send planes.
01:26Oceanwide said the Philippines had the highest number of people aboard, with 38, followed by 23 from Britain and 17
01:33from the U.S.
01:35The 14 Spanish nationals on board the ship will be transferred by plane to a military hospital in Madrid.
01:41One of the three passengers who died after being thought to have contracted the virus remains on board.
01:47The Netherlands will handle the evacuation from Tenerife of the deceased German national, following maritime and health norms.
01:55The MV Hondias will continue its journey to the Netherlands.
01:59Authorities in the Canaries have said the goal was for the ship to spend as little time as possible in
02:04the archipelago.
02:05It is yet to be determined where the ship will be disinfected.
