This morning, sources say the CDC has classified the Hanta virus outbreak as a level three emergency response, meaning the risk to the general public remains low, but is being closely monitored.
Teams of scientists and physicians have been activated as they race to stop the spread of the virus.
US health officials now monitoring at least seven Americans in five states, including Arizona, California, Virginia, Texas, and Georgia for possible infections, though none have shown symptoms.
They are among the 30 former passengers who left the Dutch cruise ship on April 24th in St. Helena, a remote island in the South Atlantic, part of a group traveling to a dozen different countries, leaving public health officials scrambling to complete contact tracing.
One of those known to have left from St. Helena is a Dutch woman whose husband is believed to be the first to die from the virus after possibly contracting it from rodents at a landfill during a bird watching stop.
He died on board April 11th.
Ruhi Cenet was on board and noticed fellow passengers attempting to comfort the man's widow.
Everyone was trying to support her socially, giving her hugs, talking to her at every meal.
And that's when it got really dangerous.
Ruhi was on the same flight as her from St. Helena to Johannesburg 13 days later.
I saw her health deteriorating.
I saw her in a wheelchair while she was boarding the plane.
She was having hard times to stand upright and she looked really ill.
Two days later, she died after trying to catch a flight home from Johannesburg to her native Netherlands.
She was turned away for being too ill.
Despite the 12 total cases, three deaths, and the growing list of those quarantining in the US and abroad, the World Health Organization maintains this is not a pandemic.
This is not coronavirus.
Uh this is a very different virus.
This is not the start of a COVID pandemic.
This is an outbreak that we see on a ship.
One of the passengers aboard the ship currently on its way to Spain telling ABC News everyone is maintaining high spirits saying it doesn't feel different than any of the other sea days we had before.
People are smiling and taking the situation calmly adding we now have specialist on board.
No one currently has any hunter related symptoms and everyone is wearing masks especially when inside the ship and keeping a safe distance.
The World Health Organization says they are in close contact with the CDC as they continue to monitor these 12 cases.
Six confirmed, six suspected.
Rebecca.
I'm glad they're taking those precautions.
They're okay Victor.
Thank you.
