Three dead in suspected hantavirus outbreak on Atlantic cruise ship

The World Health Organization (WHO) says the Hantavirus outbreak on board a cruise ship in the Atlantic, poses low risk to the public.
Officials say three people have died and one is in intensive care in South Africa from the respiratory illness.
The ship has been identified as the MV Hondius and was sailing from Argentina to Cape Verde.
The WHO has cautioned against any travel restrictions and says there is no need for panic.
