MV Hondius cruise passenger Jake Rosmarin documents his quarantine room at the University of Nebraska Medical Center as officials monitor a Hantavirus outbreak linked to the ship. Health officials have said the passengers are being monitored out of caution after potential exposure to Andes virus, a type of Hantavirus, and have emphasized that the risk to the public remains low. The footage shows conditions inside the quarantine unit as health officials monitor passengers for potential exposure following the outbreak.
Rosmarin takes viewers inside a specialized unit designed to contain the deadly Hantavirus. American passengers from the MV Hondius arrive in Omaha, Nebraska, after flying from Tenerife, Spain. Medical staff direct some of the last passengers to be evacuated from the MV Hondius on May 11, 2026 in Tenerife, part of the Canary Islands, Spain.
Most are in quarantine, while one individual was placed in a biocontainment unit after an earlier test result. Passengers watch as others disembark from the Hantavirus-stricken cruise ship MV Hondius at the port of Granadilla in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, on May 10, 2026. In one recent clip, Rosmarin showed his room, which included a wall-mounted hand sanitizer, a thermometer and other health provisions.
