Two passengers linked to a hantavirus outbreak aboard the cruise ship M/V Hondius are being treated at Emory University Hospital after arriving from the Canary Islands on Monday, prompting concern among some local residents. The hospital’s Serious Communicable Diseases Unit has previously handled high-risk infections, including Ebola cases, and works closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is based nearby. While some community members expressed unease about the patients’ transfer, others said they were reassured by the hospital’s experience managing infectious diseases and emphasized that authorities appear to be following established containment protocols.
