Understanding hantavirus as passengers return home

We are learning this Monday that one American has tested positive for hantavirus and at least one other is showing mild symptoms. This comes as the group of 18 passengers from the outbreak-stricken ship arrived back in the United States. Health officials said in a press conference that plans were in place to care for the 18 people that just returned and for the other Americans aboard the cruise ship who disembarked and returned previously. LiveNOW’s Shawna Khalafi is speaking with Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, who is an infectious disease internist and educator in San Francisco, CA.
