A flight carrying U.S. citizens who were on the ship arrived Monday in Nebraska.
One of the passengers of the hantavirus-stricken MV Hondius cruise ship is speaking out two days after the ship's evacuation of guests.
One passenger is from New York City while the other two are residents of Orange County and Westchester County.
The cruise ship outbreak has put renewed attention on the Andes virus, a rare type of hantavirus that can spread between people and cause severe respiratory illness.
As the number of norovirus cases rise and hantavirus lingers on cruise ships, health officials advise passengers to take precautionary measures to avoid sickness.
Health officials say the risk to the general public in New Jersey remains very low.
