Eighteen Americans are under medical observation after disembarking from a cruise ship infected with the hantavirus.
A French woman and an American have already tested positive for the hantavirus as nations around the world begin repatriating and quarantining passengers from a cruise ship hit by a deadly outbreak. The passengers who were on the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius during the rare hantavirus outbreak are being monitored for now.
French Health Minister Stephanie Rist said Monday that one infected woman was among five French passengers repatriated to Paris on Sunday. The woman's health worsened while she was cared for at a French hospital overnight. Rist said the patient reportedly didn't develop symptoms until she was on the flight home to Paris.
One of the 17 American passengers evacuated from the ship and flown to Nebraska also tested positive for the hantavirus but is not showing any symptoms, and another had mild symptoms, U.S. health officials said late Sunday.
