The ship Hondius arrived on Tenerife on Sunday. People on the ship had the Hanta-virus. 3 people died. Between 140 and 150 people were on the ship.
Helpers took the people from the ship. The helpers wore special suits for protection. No person had signs of illness in the morning. Buses drove the people to the airport.
Planes fly the people to their home countries. 4 Germans are on the planes. They fly to the Netherlands first. Special transport brings them to Germany. One person goes to a hospital in Berlin. Other people go to hospitals in other parts of Germany.
All passengers must stay in quarantine for 42 days. That means they stay away from other people. A man from France felt sick on the plane. He is now in a hospital in Paris.
The Hanta-virus comes from small animals like mice. Humans rarely give the virus to other humans. Experts think the first people got sick in Argentina. No mice were on the ship.
