There are currently 11 confirmed and suspected cases
The World Health Organisation is expecting more cases of hantavirus to appear in passengers of the cruise ship, the MV Hondius.
There are currently 11 confirmed and suspected cases.
The WHO's Director General says it would have been inhumane to keep almost 150 people from 23 countries quarantined on the ship for the full period.
Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus said that it has strict protocols for countries to follow to quarantine passengers following repatriation.
Meanwhile, the French Prime Minister is calling for greater European cooperation in the wake of the hantavirus outbreak.
Sebastien LeCornu wants to see health care systems across the EU synced up, which he says would help break "any potential chains of transmission".
