The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has addressed local anger in Tenerife, where passengers from a hantavirus-affected cruise ship are expected to disembark. The Spanish government overruled local leaders' approval for the ship's docking. Protests continued, with local residents chanting "Yes to tourism, no to the virus". WHO Director-General assured local residents that the risk to them is low and that the request for Spain to grant this was not made lightly. The ship is set to anchor offshore on Sunday and most passengers and crew will be ferried ashore at the Granadilla port in small boats to repatriate them to their home countries. Several nations, including the U.S., Germany, France, Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands, have sent planes to evacuate their citizens.
