An international effort is underway to track passengers from a cruise ship following a hantavirus outbreak. Health officials are monitoring individuals who departed the vessel after a reported fatality linked to the virus.
Among those infected are two residents from Texas. A third British national is also suspected of having contracted the hantavirus. Dozens of passengers are currently being tracked, and five U.S. states are actively monitoring individuals who disembarked the ship.
The widespread tracking operation highlights the global concern over the virus's potential spread. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
