Passengers from a cruise ship where a hantavirus outbreak killed three people earlier this month are expressing dissatisfaction with their mandatory quarantine conditions at a Nebraska health facility.

A 30-year-old man from New York State who was aboard the Hondius cruise ship told NBC News that the quarantine facility feels like "prison." The passenger, who requested anonymity citing safety concerns, said he wants to be allowed to quarantine at his home instead of the federal facility.

According to NPR, two passengers from the cruise ship have been blocked by the federal government from leaving the quarantine unit. One passenger described feeling "betrayed" by the federal order requiring her to remain in quarantine, saying she is being detained against her will.

The hantavirus outbreak occurred on the Hondius cruise ship earlier this month, resulting in three deaths. Health officials implemented quarantine measures for passengers who may have been exposed to the virus.

Hantavirus is a rare but potentially fatal respiratory disease typically transmitted through contact with infected rodent droppings, urine, or saliva. The virus can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, which has a high mortality rate if left untreated.
