Americans to be evacuated from Hantavirus cruise ship as global health chief travels to quarantine island
“Our American passengers, they’re gonna be taken to Nebraska, to a center where they will be monitored. They will be isolated, they’ll check their vital signs, their temperature, their oxygen level, their blood pressure,” Dr. Janet Nesheiwat, a former Trump-tapped nominee for Surgeon General, told Fox News on Saturday.
“If they start to develop any symptoms, we can intervene early. Because as it is right now, there’s no specific treatment for this virus other than supportive care, like oxygen, fluids, hydration, analgesics,” she said.
Fox News Digital contacted the WHO and the CDC for further comment but did not immediately receive a response.
