Eleven of the 13 Diamond Princess cruise ship evacuees taken to the University of Nebraska Medical Center Monday after passengers arrived in the U.S. have tested positive for coronavirus, the medical facility said Thursday night. University of Nebraska Medical Center spokesperson Taylor Wilson said 10 people are currently in the facility's National Quarantine Unit and three others are in the biocontainment unit. One man had already been transferred to the hospital’s biocontainment unit Monday because his symptoms included cough, fever, shortness of breath, lightheadedness and an undisclosed chronic condition that would make him particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 virus. "Most of our guests aren’t showing symptoms of the disease, however several others are exhibiting minor symptoms," Wilson said. At a press conference on Monday, Dr. Mike Wadman, the co-medical director of the National Quarantine Unit, had said that the 13 passengers would be spending at least two weeks in quarantine in Omaha and that their confinement period would likely be extended in the event of a positive test.
