Visualizing the Hantavirus Cruise Outbreak in Maps and Charts
Passengers are being isolated and monitored for up to 42 days after exposure to an Andes virus outbreak on the cruise ship, officials said.
- On Monday, 18 Americans from the MV Hondius cruise ship arrived at specialized U.S. facilities in Nebraska and Georgia following an Andes virus outbreak aboard the vessel.
- The Andes virus, a hantavirus form causing severe pulmonary disease, has killed three people and infected at least nine others since April, prompting evacuation after the ship docked in the Canary Islands on Sunday.
- Of the arrivals, 16 passengers remain at Nebraska's National Quarantine Unit in "good spirits," while two were transferred to Emory University in Atlanta as "contingency planning" to preserve quarantine capacity.
- Exposed individuals face a 42-day monitoring period, though officials are still gathering information on whether patients will remain in Nebraska or isolate at home based on their living situations and health status.
- New York Governor Kathy Hochul said Monday she activated state public health experts to prepare for "worst case scenarios," though infectious disease experts say the virus is unlikely to spread widely since it does not transmit easily.
