(CNN) Most of the Americans who were being monitored at the University of Nebraska Medical Center for coronavirus after evacuating a cruise ship in Japan tested positive for the virus, the hospital says. The other two evacuees who were taken to the Omaha hospital tested negative, the statement said. The hospital had said some of the patients had tested positive in Japan but some "came with a lack of clarity what their test results were," Shelly Schwedhelm told CNN. Several people are exhibiting minor symptoms but others are not showing any symptoms, the release said. Bert Kelly, a CDC spokesman, told CNN that the agency has verified the results, bringing the total of confirmed cases of coronavirus in the United States to 26.
