Passengers evacuated from the hantavirus-hit cruise ship have started flying home aboard military and government planes after the vessel anchored in the Canary Islands.

U.S. officials say one American among the 17 being flown home tested positive but has no symptoms. One of the five French passengers taken to Paris developed symptoms on the flight.
