Hantavirus Outbreak on Luxury Cruise: Monitoring Begins

Authorities have started monitoring individuals in at least three U.S. states following a hantavirus outbreak on a luxury cruise ship.

As of now, none of those placed under observation have exhibited any signs of the illness, according to a report by the New York Times.

Efforts continue to ensure the virus does not spread, though Reuters has not been able to independently verify this report.
