Five American Cruise Ship Passengers Released from Nebraska Quarantine
Five American passengers from a cruise ship have been released from a quarantine facility in Nebraska after being exposed to hantavirus. These individuals will complete their monitoring at home, having shown no symptoms and meeting criteria for home monitoring. The passengers were part of a group of 18 Americans quarantined following a hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship in the South Atlantic Ocean. The outbreak involved the Andes virus, which can spread between people in rare cases. No cases have been confirmed in the U.S., and the risk to the public remains low.
