Jake Rosmarin, a New York native, is among 16 American passengers quarantined at the University of Nebraska Medical Center's National Quarantine Unit following an Andes virus outbreak aboard the M/V Hondius cruise ship. The expedition vessel, carrying approximately 150 people from 15 countries, experienced 11 confirmed or suspected hantavirus cases with 3 deaths. One passenger tested PCR positive for the Andes strain; another developed symptoms. Seventeen Americans and one British dual citizen were evacuated and flown to the U.S. on Monday. Rosmarin reports feeling well with no symptoms and is prepared for a 40-day quarantine involving daily health monitoring. He described the quarantine conditions as spacious with amenities including Wi-Fi, exercise equipment, and medical care. The outbreak prompted ports in multiple countries to refuse the ship's disembarkation until Spain allowed docking in the Canary Islands.
