Americans Exposed to Rat Virus Sent to Quarantine After Doomed Cruise

More than a dozen Americans who were aboard a cursed cruise ship hit by a rare, deadly hantavirus outbreak are being held at the country’s only federally funded quarantine center.

The passengers arrived early Monday morning on a flight from Tenerife, Spain, to Omaha, Nebraska, an official with the Department of Health and Human Services told The New York Times.

Two passengers—one who tested “mildly positive” for the hantavirus and who was experiencing mild symptoms—traveled in specialized biocontainment units, the Times reported.
