A woman from the U.S. tested positive for hantavirus after being evacuated from a cruise ship affected by an outbreak. Along with a French woman and another American, they showed symptoms or tested positive as countries rushed to repatriate passengers. The U.S. passenger, who is asymptomatic, was transported to the University of Nebraska Medical Center for evaluation. Health officials stated that the risk to the general population remains low, as hantavirus typically spreads through rodent droppings and is not easily transmitted between humans. The World Health Organization has recommended active monitoring of all passengers.
