18:28Now PlayingThree more patients were evacuated Wednesday from the Atlantic cruise ship experiencing a rare hantavirus outbreak.
Photos shared on social media showed medical teams in protective gear.
As of Wednesday, eight cases were involved, with five confirmed as hantavirus by laboratory testing. Three people have died.
The type of virus in this outbreak has been confirmed as Andes hantavirus by several health officials treating patients in various countries, WHO said.
The WHO says the Andes virus, a specific species of hantavirus, is found in South America, primarily in Argentina and Chile. It can be spread between people, though this is rare and only through close contact such as by sharing a bed or food, experts say.
Symptoms can appear up to eight weeks after exposure, officials have said.
Abraar Karan, infectious disease doctor at Stanford University, joins LiveNOW's Andy Mac to discuss.
