Consular officials are on their way to the Canary Islands<\/a> to meet with four Canadians on board a deadly hantavirus-stricken cruise ship.<\/p>\n

The federal government says three people with connections to the cruise are isolating at home in Ontario and Quebec, but they aren\u2019t showing symptoms.<\/p>\n

Officials have not said when and where the affected people arrived in Canada, or whether public health officials would brief the media.<\/p>\n

Spanish authorities are prepared to receive more than 140 asymptomatic passengers and crew who have been isolating on the boat when it docks this weekend in Granadilla, Tenerife.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization has said it has received reports of eight cases, including three deaths, from the outbreak of the rodent-borne Andes virus on the MV Hondius.<\/p>\n

They say that while more cases are possible in the coming weeks, hantaviruses do not spread easily between people, and the outbreak will likely not turn into an epidemic.<\/p>\n
