\n

\n As passengers of the cruise ship at the center of the hantavirus outbreak disembark in Tenerife<\/a>, in Spain\u2019s Canary Islands, the 17 Americans who left the ship Sunday were being flown back to the United States \u2014 with a first stop in Nebraska, home of the highly specialized National Quarantine Unit.\n <\/p>\n

\n The virus, typically associated with rodents, may have passed from human to human aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship, according to the World Health Organization. Since April 11, three people from the ship have died while a handful of others are sick.\n <\/p>\n

\n One of the Americans has tested positive for the virus and another has mild symptoms, the US Department of Health and Human Services said late Sunday. Both were traveling in biocontainment units on the plane \u201cout of an abundance of caution,\u201d HHS said<\/a> in a post on X.\n <\/p>\n

\n The passenger who tested positive does not have symptoms but will be taken directly to the biocontainment unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, the facility said late Sunday. The other passengers will go to the National Quarantine Unit for assessment and monitoring.\n <\/p>\n

\n CNN has reached out to HHS for more information on the passengers.\n <\/p>\n

\n This is everything we know about how the American passengers will get back to the United States and what will happen once they\u2019re home.\n <\/p>\n

\n Assessment in the Canary Islands
\n<\/h2>\n

\n The passengers were seen wearing blue protective clothing and masks aboard smaller boats transporting them from the cruise ship to shore Sunday evening.\n <\/p>\n

\n The US passengers from the MV Hondius cruise ship, along with one British national who resides in the US, were set to be evaluated by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staff in Tenerife, according to a CDC official.\n <\/p>\n

\n Once back in the US, the passengers will be brought for further assessment to the National Quarantine Unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, where they will arrive via airlift, according to US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Omaha facility is \u201cthe only federally funded quarantine unit in the United States, designed specifically to safely house and monitor people who may have been exposed to high-consequence infectious diseases,\u201d according to Nebraska Medicine<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n There are 20 single-person, 300-square-foot rooms fitted with negative air pressure systems to contain any possible viruses. Doctors there describe them like hotel rooms, designed with en-suite bathrooms, exercise equipment, food delivery and Wi-Fi for patients staying for long periods.\n <\/p>\n

\n A CDC official said earlier that the agency was not considering this a quarantine for the cruise ship passengers, but rather a brief visit to monitor their health.\n <\/p>\n

\n The 18 passengers will be checked for symptoms signaling the early stages of hantavirus, including fever, muscle aches and diarrhea, the interim chancellor of the hospital, Dr. H. Dele Davis, told CNN.\n <\/p>\n

\n Passengers without symptoms will not be tested for hantavirus, a CDC official said, as testing is not recommended for those without symptoms.\n <\/p>\n

\n Anyone who does fall ill could be transferred to the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit, which is a specialized unit on-site that has previously treated patients during the Ebola outbreak<\/a> in 2014 and some of the first Covid-19 patients<\/a> from the Diamond Princess cruise ship in 2020, according to Nebraska Medicine officials.\n <\/p>\n

\n The airlift will then continue to take remaining passengers to one of more than a dozen Regional Emerging Special Pathogen Treatment Centers<\/a>, regional hubs focused on special pathogen readiness. The centers work closely with the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, which is part of HHS.\n <\/p>\n

\n The passengers will also be given the option to go home after their assessment in Omaha if safety protocols allow, National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya told CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper on Sunday.\n <\/p>\n

\n Bhattacharya, who is also acting director of the CDC, said the agency will interview the passengers to determine their risk. They will be deemed \u201clow risk\u201d if they were not in contact with someone who was symptomatic.\n <\/p>\n

\n Bhattacharya said the CDC\u2019s advice to the travelers would include \u201can offer to stay in Nebraska if they\u2019d like, or if they want to go back home and their home situation allows it, to safely drive them home without exposing other people on the way, and then be put in the control \u2026 under the auspices of their state and local public health agencies.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Once the passengers get back to their own homes, they will undergo daily home-based monitoring for the next 42 days, according to a CDC official.\n <\/p>\n

\n The goal, according to Nebraska Medicine, is to monitor the passengers during the virus\u2019 incubation period, which can last up to six weeks, and to reduce the risk of spreading the disease.\n <\/p>\n

\n Health officials have said that passengers who do not test positive will not be quarantined, but will be advised to take certain precautions.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIf it\u2019s a high-risk exposure \u2026<\/strong> there will be some modified activities that we would recommend, limiting activities outside the house that don\u2019t involve extensive interactions with other people,\u201d a CDC official said. \u201cAlso, they need to be working with their departments of health \u2026<\/strong> with regards to the nature around other activities.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Bhattacharya said the agency is following the safety protocols previously used successfully during a 2018 outbreak of the same hantavirus strain.\n <\/p>\n

\n How we got here and what\u2019s next
\n<\/h2>\n

\n The hantavirus outbreak was first reported to the WHO on May 2 and remains a low risk<\/a> to the general public, the organization says.\n <\/p>\n

\n Hantavirus typically spreads to humans through contact with rodent urine or droppings, though this strain, the Andes virus, can in rare cases spread person-to-person through very close, prolonged contact with an infected person.\n <\/p>\n

\n The CDC has classified its hantavirus response as Level 3, the agency\u2019s lowest level of emergency, according to a person involved in the situation.\n <\/p>\n

\n As of May 8, there were eight total cases connected to the MV Hondius cruise ship \u2014 six lab-confirmed plus two probable cases.\n <\/p>\n

\n Passengers were screened Sunday after the ship docked in Tenerife, and all were asymptomatic, according to Spanish health authorities. One French passenger later showed symptoms while flying home, and all five evacuees on that flight will enter isolation protocols, the country\u2019s prime minister said.\n <\/p>\n

\n As of May 9, three passengers \u2014 a Dutch couple and one German national \u2014 have died after contracting hantavirus, according to WHO.\n <\/p>\n

\n Seven other American passengers who previously disembarked the ship are being monitored in five states<\/a> \u2014 Arizona, California, Georgia, Texas and Virginia, officials said.\n <\/p>\n

\n New Jersey said it is also monitoring two people who were exposed, and Utah reported that at least one passenger was from that state.\n <\/p>\n

\n Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cough, difficulty breathing and chest pain.\n <\/p>\n

\n Hoping to quell concerns before the passengers disembarked, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said this hantavirus outbreak is \u201cnot another Covid-19<\/a>.\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
