Americans from that cruise ship landing in the United States, including one who 
US officials say has tested positive for haunt virus loaded on buses traveling to the 
facility where they'll be examined. 
According to the health department, one passenger currently has mild symptoms and another passenger tested mildly PCR positive for the Andi strain of the 
virus. 
The person who tested positive is expected at the Nebraska Bioontainment 
Unit in Omaha. 
The other with mild symptoms will be going to another specialized facility. 
Both will undergo clinical assessment and receive appropriate care and support based on their condition. 
Those with no symptoms will be held inside the quarantine unit in Nebraska. 
While the CDC says it can take up to 6 weeks for honto virus symptoms to appear, health officials 
have not said if the passengers will be required to stay for any period of time.
