American passengers from the hantavirus-stricken cruise ship are now back on U.S. soil. Tonight, at least one patient remains in a biocontainment unit after testing positive, while another is undergoing evaluation. Now, new questions are emerging: How long could their quarantine last? We’re taking a closer look at the massive operation that transported patients to Nebraska, as well as the two additional passengers flown to Atlanta for monitoring. And as other countries move to mandate quarantines, growing questions remain over whether the United States should follow suit.

Trending is the feature in Current News that talks about the topics that are currently being covered by the network. If a breaking news event occurs that requires the interruption of non-news programming (or in the case of national network newscasts, of regular broadcasting), the network will alert its affiliates to “stand by” for the cut-in, which is preceded by a countdown and an opening graphic. The report may last for only a few minutes, or it could span several hours, or even days. Until the advent of 24-hour news networks, such breaks were generally restricted to extremely urgent situations, such as the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963, which prompted nationwide coverage and forced many stations to interrupt their programs for live coverage.
