A team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will meet American passengers aboard the cruise ship at the center of a hantavirus outbreak, an agency official confirmed to NBC News. The secured facility, located on the University of Nebraska Medical Center campus, features an isolation unit, HEPA filtration system and specialized sterilization “autoclaves” with double doors to decontaminate waste and linens. The biocontainment unit treats patients with hazardous communicable diseases in sterile environments that maximize safety and containment. No symptomatic individuals remain aboard the Hondius, parent company Oceanwide Expeditions said in a statement Friday. #hantavirus #pandemic#cruiseship
