BBC: The outbreak of hantavirus on a cruise ship carrying passengers from across the world is a situation that authorities say they are taking incredibly seriously.
Three passengers have died either on board or after travelling on the ship, which set sail from Argentina a month ago.
Four others have been medically evacuated from the ship for treatment.
