CDC says there are no U.S. hantavirus cases currently, 41 people being monitored

Health officials say the 41 people are being monitored for 42 days, while the CDC reports no confirmed U.S. cases.

  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported monitoring 41 Americans for potential hantavirus exposure following a deadly outbreak on the Hondius cruise ship that killed three passengers.
  • Eighteen passengers returned to the United States on May 11 for closer monitoring, entering quarantine facilities in Nebraska and Georgia to prevent further virus spread after officials identified the outbreak.
  • The quarantined group includes 17 United States residents and one British dual national, with all cruise passengers currently testing negative for the virus according to HHS.
  • One initially symptomatic passenger in Atlanta tested negative for the Andes variant on May 12, with no confirmed positive hantavirus cases in the United States as of May 14.
  • Public health surveillance extends beyond the 18 ship passengers to individuals exposed through proximity during travel, as officials track potential contacts to prevent virus spread within the United States.
