As the race to contain the hantavirus intensifies, the CDC now urging those in quarantine at the University of Nebraska Medical Center to remain the full 42 days. 
As we are now learning more about the first and only American to initially test positive from the cruise ship. 
Dr. Steven Corfield was a passenger on board the MV Handius, stepping up to serve as the ship's doctor after the original one contracted the virus. 
Corfield saying he felt like he was coming down with the flu. 
One of his samples taken on the cruise ship later testing positive for hantavirus. 
This is a very secure facility. 
So, if I am to get sick and spill virus, there's no way that virus is getting out of this building. 
Overnight, his most recent PCR test coming back negative. 
He's now out of the biocontainment unit. 
He's one of 16 Americans being evaluated in Omaha. 
Jake Rosemarin among them, too, documenting the quarantine process. 
Here's my thermometer. 
Turn it on. 
I have to put on my mask so I can show it to the nurses. 
That My temperature is all good. 
Hi. No, no symptoms. 
98.6. 
The CDC saying more than 100 officials are working around the clock on this outbreak with nearly a dozen states monitoring at least 18 people. 
Worldwide, there are 10 cases, all of them passengers on that ship, including a woman from France. 
She is in the intensive care unit in Paris, being treated by an artificial lung. 
Robin. >> We're hoping that all will make a full recovery. 
Victor, thank you.
