90-Second Read: Two people from cruise ship at center of Hantavirus outbreak now under care in Atlanta | What we know

The short of the public messaging is that there is no broader threat, as the governor's office noted, and "the system worked" in bringing the two people to Atlanta for care, as CDC incident manager Dr. Department of Health and Human Services said the "mildly symptomatic" passenger taken to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta tested negative. For Georgians who were not on the cruise ship where the outbreak happened, Guest said the risk of developing Hantavirus is exceptionally low.

To stream 11Alive on your phone, you need the 11Alive app. Jodie Guest, the Senior Vice Chair of the Epidemiology Department at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health. 11Alive asked her why two of the passengers from the ship were able to return home and be monitored by DPH, while two other passengers ended up at Emory.

The two passengers allowed to home disembarked in later April, a time when Guest said it was not well known what was happening on the ship. At the moment, we've not seen anyone who transmits the Andes version of the Hantavirus to another person if they are asymptomatic. As of Tuesday, a spokesperson for DPH said those two Georgians continue to be asymptomatic.
