A recent hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship had significant consequences, including the deaths of three people. Some American passengers who were exposed to the virus were placed in a specialized hospital quarantine unit in Nebraska. These passengers spent 42 days in quarantine as a precautionary measure.

The last eight passengers have now been released from the facility, marking the end of their quarantine period. For more information on this incident, readers can refer to the original report from ABC13 Houston, which provides further details on the outbreak and its aftermath.
