U.S. health officials have issued quarantine orders for two passengers from a cruise ship linked to a hantavirus outbreak, while the other 16 passengers remain under observation at a Nebraska medical facility. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that the quarantined individuals are among 18 being evaluated after 11 cases, including three deaths, were reported. The Andes virus, responsible for the outbreak, typically spreads through rodent droppings but may have rare human-to-human transmission. Public health experts indicate the risk to the general public is low.
