Five American passengers who were held in quarantine in Nebraska due to suspected exposure to hantavirus aboard a cruise ship have been released after medical evaluation and cleared to return to their home states. The individuals underwent monitoring at a Nebraska quarantine facility before their release.
As of early June 2026, health officials report that other passengers who shared the same exposure remain in quarantine at the Nebraska facility as precautionary measures continue. Details regarding the condition of those still quarantined have not been disclosed.
