They are leaving Omaha about three weeks after they and the 13 other Americans arrived in Nebraska following a deadly outbreak of hantavirus on a cruise ship traveling in the South Atlantic Ocean.
Hantaviruses usually spread when people inhale contaminated residue of rodent droppings, but the hantavirus that has caused the current outbreak, called the Andes virus, may be able to spread between people in rare cases.
A total of 13 confirmed or probable hantavirus cases, including three deaths, have been linked to the ship, according to the World Health Organization.
No Andes virus cases have been confirmed in the U.S., and the risk to the public remains low, health officials said.

None of the U.S. passengers has shown any symptoms, a spokesperson for Nebraska Medicine said Monday.
Symptoms of hantavirus have taken as long as 42 days to appear in previous outbreaks, but some medical experts say most people who develop symptoms do so within 21 days.
The doctors in Omaha monitoring the passengers had said previously that they would work with each person individually to determine if it was appropriate for them to go home to finish their recommended 42-day quarantine period.
Federal officials arranged travel for the five people going home, in coordination with state and local authorities. Officials said the travel was not to be on commercial flights, with appropriate biocontainment measures in place. State health departments will continue daily symptom monitoring, maintain 24/7 oversight and provide guidance.

Two of the people returning to their homes live outside New York City, said city Health Commissioner Dr. Alister Martin.
One of the remaining passengers, Jake Rosmarin, posted on his blog Sunday that he plans to stay at the Omaha unit for his final three weeks of quarantine because he would have immediate access to care if he gets sick and he doesn’t want to risk unnecessarily exposing anyone else.
Rosmarin, who posts daily updates about his experience, said he’s not judging anyone who decided to go home.
“For me personally, this experience has been incredibly traumatic,” Rosmarin said. “I don’t think I’ve fully processed everything yet, and right now I don’t want to leave until I know there is no risk of me getting sick or putting my family, friends, or the general public at risk.”

Nebraska baseball (43-17), following a weather delay, concluded its showdown against No. 18 Ole Miss (38-21) and then faced No. 22 Arizona State (39-20) on Sunday. The Huskers fell in both, ending their season.
Nebraska’s battle with the Rebels started on Saturday night, but rain delayed the ninth inning to Sunday afternoon. Ole Miss built a 6-1 lead over the Huskers across the final four innings after Nebraska scored a run in the fourth. The Huskers picked up two runs in the eighth before the delay but came up short on Sunday.
Nebraska then had to quickly turn around and battle the Sun Devils less than two hours afterwards in the elimination game. Arizona State built a massive 11-1 lead over the Huskers heading into the seventh. Despite Nebraska closing the deficit to 11-8, it came up short in the end.
Nebraska totaled eight hits and one error against the Rebels, then picked up 11 hits and two errors against the Sun Devils. Ole Miss tallied nine hits, and Arizona State snatched 13.
The Huskers also earned three home runs across the two games. Max Buettenback and Jett Buck accounted for all three runs scored by Nebraska against Ole Miss. Buettenback struck a two-run home run while Buck launched a solo shot. Joshua Overbeek then delivered a solo home run against Arizona State, finishing the two games batting 4-for-7. Jeter Worthley also finished with four hits, going 4-for-10. Dylan Carey hit 3-of-7.
Ty Horn (3-3) took the loss against Ole Miss in his start at the mound following 5.2 innings pitched. He threw nine strikeouts against six hits, three runs and two walks. Gavin Blachowicz (4-4) fell in his start at the mound against Arizona State, throwing two strikeouts and surrendering six hits and five runs.
Nebraska finishes the season having hosted its first NCAA regional since 2008 and making its 20th regional appearance. The Huskers also reached 40 wins in a season for the 19th time in program history.
