Dr. Stephen Kornfeld was taking the trip of a lifetime aboard a cruise sailing across the Atlantic Ocean when he was called on to care for other passengers who fell ill. Now, he’s the only MV Hondius passenger in a biocontainment unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center after initially testing positive for Andes hantavirus.

The University of Nebraska is home to the only federally funded quarantine unit in the U.S. and a separate biocontainment unit that can treat people exposed to infectious diseases.

Seventeen Americans monitored hantavirus Nebraska at UNMC after exposure on MV Hondius; one positive case isolated in biocontainment unit for treatment.

The total number of confirmed and probable cases of hantavirus of those who were onboard the MV Hondius cruise ship stands at 10, including two people confirmed to have died from the virus and one person who remains suspected to have died from the virus.

Sixteen passengers are being monitored in Nebraska's quarantine unit.

Jake Rosmarin said he’s “trying not to think about” whether he’s been infected with hantavirus as he hunkers down for six weeks in a medical facility.

The MV Hondius was the epicenter of the first-ever deadly outbreak of hantavirus aboard a modern cruise ship. Was this a freak occurrence, or a sign of things to come?

The coronavirus pandemic's impact lingers, influencing our lives in both obvious and subtle ways. Work-from-home jobs, mask-wearing and hand sanitizers are now common.
