Passengers have begun to disembark the cruise ship at the center of the hantavirus outbreak, Spain’s ministry of health said, in a carefully managed repatriation operation in Tenerife involving multiple nations.

Since the vessel departed Argentina last month, the deaths of three people have been linked to hantavirus -– a rare disease typically caused by exposure to infected rats’ urine or feces.

CNN’s Kim Brunhuber speaks with Dr. Scott Miscovich about the disembarkation operation of the MV Hondius cruise ship. Also, CNN’s Danny Feeman discusses the Nebraska facility where American passengers will be taken with Dr. H. Dele Davies.
