The United States will centrally quarantine American passengers from the affected cruise ship

Odaily reported that an outbreak of hantavirus has occurred on the cruise ship "Hondius" during its voyage across the Atlantic. According to US media reports on the 8th, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has activated its Emergency Operations Center and classified the outbreak as a "Level 3" emergency response. CDC officials confirmed that American passengers on the ship will be quarantined in Nebraska after returning to the United States.

The CDC's Emergency Operations Center has three response levels, with Level 3 being the lowest. This indicates that the overall public risk from the outbreak remains low, but public health agencies are actively monitoring developments. (Xinhua News Agency)
