Science Friday · Inside the Nebraska quarantine facility responding to hantavirus · 29 May 2026 podcast

Yeah, so right now we have 18 individuals who have been with us since May 11th, and all of our individuals remain well.

So with quarantine, we were providing monitoring and observation for the potential development of symptoms, and then if those symptoms develop, they would be

moved over to our biocontainment unit, which is in our hospital.

And so thus far, all of our guests remain well.

I think, you know, like most folks that would be in a quarantine situation, people get a little bit stir crazy after a few days.

And so our focus right now on this phase of response is really maintaining mental and physical stimulation opportunities.

And so we're really focusing on making sure we're supporting holistically what they need to sustain

Their time here with us, which was, you know, proposed to be 42 days for the full incubation period.

Yes.

No, it isn't.

It's definitely a blend of both.

So each individual has their own room.

And so it's interesting in that we have our rooms set up.

They are all along the outer wall of our floor so that every room has natural sunlight, access to the windows so you can see out of the building.

Each of the rooms has exercise equipment, so either a treadmill or a bike, free weights, a yoga mat, a yoga ball, some stair stepper blocks.

Each of the rooms are at least 300 square feet, and they have a full-size bed, en suite bathroom.

Kind of what you would expect from a hotel.

But then we layered in engineering controls so all of the rooms have negative pressure so that no airborne particles can escape out into the hallway.

The hallway is also negative pressure to the general space.
