BREAKING🚨: One American passenger returning from the hantavirus-stricken cruise ship MV Hondius is showing mild symptoms, and a second has tested positive for the Andes virus, according to HHS.
The positive case will be transported to the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit upon arrival.
All 17 American passengers aboard the Dutch vessel are being routed to the University of Nebraska Medical Center for quarantine.
The outbreak has produced nine confirmed or suspected cases and three deaths since the ship departed Argentina on April 1.
The CDC has classified it a Level 3 emergency but says the risk to the general public remains "extremely low."
