The cruise ship dealing with a deadly hanta-virus outbreak in the Atlantic has four Canadians among the 149 people on board the ship.

The World Health Organization says there are eight cases, and five of them are confirmed. Three people were evacuated from the ship, where it is sailing off the coast of West Africa, but there was some political wrangling over the plan for the ship to dock in the Canary Islands.
