U.S. health officials confirmed Thursday that 41 people across the country are under monitoring for potential hantavirus infections following a deadly outbreak aboard the cruise ship MV Hondius that killed three people earlier this month.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention disclosed that the 41 individuals include 16 people repatriated from the cruise ship who are under quarantine at a Nebraska facility, two repatriated passengers being monitored at an Atlanta facility, seven former cruise ship passengers who departed before the outbreak was declared, and 16 people exposed during travel, including on flights.
