Australians among final passengers off hantavirus-hit ship | ABC NEWS

The Australian passengers who were on board the hantavirus-hit cruise ship are heading home, via the Netherlands, after finally being allowed to leave.

The remaining 54 passengers, including four Australians and a permanent resident, have flown out of Tenerife.

The Australians and a New Zealander will quarantine for at least three weeks when they return later this week.
