Americans Evacuated From Cruise Ship End Six-Week Hantavirus Quarantine

Americans evacuated from a cruise ship after a hantavirus outbreak completed a six-week quarantine and are scheduled to return to regular activities starting Sunday afternoon. The period ends a stretch of isolation for those exposed during the outbreak.

Those affected said they are looking forward to reuniting with family members and resuming ordinary routines. The evacuation followed the detection of the virus on the vessel, after which health measures were put in place to monitor and contain potential spread.
