U.S. Health officials are helping repatriate Americans from a cruise ship where Hantavirus was discovered.
As NPR's Ping Huang reports, the efforts come after criticism over the federal government's muted public response.
A Dutchman died from Hantavirus aboard the cruise ship April 11th.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention took more than three weeks to issue a brief public statement
about the Hantavirus outbreak, which has sickened at least eight people and led to three deaths.
That 's now been followed with an advisory to health professionals Friday,
a media call Saturday, and a press release Sunday about how federal health officials
are helping bring cruise passengers home.
Lawrence Gostin is professor of global health law at Georgetown University.
He says the U.S. Response has been fragmented and delayed, but it's finally coming together.
And better too late than never.
But it is very late.
Gostin says the strain of Hantavirus is not very contagious, so the outbreak should soon be contained.
