"The World Health Organization said three passengers have died after contracting the Andes strain of the virus, which is known to be transmissible between people. The strain is found in parts of Argentina, where the luxury cruise ship MV Hondius departed.
In a Wednesday update, the WHO said that there were so far eight cases, three of which laboratory testing confirmed as hantavirus.
Despite the perilous situation on the ship, passenger and travel blogger Kasem Hato said things have "been very calm."
"People are taking the situation seriously but without any panic, trying to keep social distancing and wearing masks to be safe," he said in a statement to NBC News.
He said the ship’s captain and leadership have been keeping passengers informed."
