Spain is getting ready for over 140 people on a cruise ship with hantavirus. The ship is going to the Canary Islands.

The ship will arrive at the island of Tenerife on Saturday or Sunday.

The people will get off the ship in a special area that is closed off.

Spain is talking to other countries about how to get their people off the ship.

The US and UK will send planes to take their people home from the ship.

Some people on the ship have died, and others are sick. The WHO says it's not a big risk to others.

The WHO says people should not worry about a big hantavirus problem.

Hantavirus usually comes from mice poop and is not easy to catch from people. Symptoms show up 1-8 weeks later.

No one on the ship is sick right now, says the cruise company.

Health people are looking for others who got off the ship before it was known to have hantavirus.

In Canada, some people are staying home because they might have been near someone with hantavirus.

Two Canadians got off the ship on a small island and flew home with someone who might have hantavirus.

A Canadian from Quebec is staying home because they might have met someone with hantavirus.

Many people left the ship without being checked for hantavirus a few weeks ago.

A third person from the UK might have hantavirus, say UK health people.

The suspected case is on a small island where the ship stopped in April.

There is no news about the person's condition.

Two other people from the UK have hantavirus, one in the Netherlands and one in South Africa.

South Africa is looking for people who might have been near passengers who got off the ship.
