US citizen tests positive for hantavirus after evacuation

 One of the 17 American passengers evacuated from the cruise ship MV Hondius in the Canary Islands has tested positive for the hantavirus, but is not showing symptoms, the Associated Press reported.

"One passenger will be transported to the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit upon arrival, while other passengers will go to the National Quarantine Unit for assessment and monitoring. The passenger who is going to the Biocontainment Unit tested positive for the virus but does not have symptoms," Kayla Thomas, a spokesperson for the Nebraska Medical Center, said.

Since the virus outbreak began, three people have died, and five passengers who left the ship earlier are infected.
