CDC requiring some former cruise passengers to stay in hantavirus quarantine
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a social media post it has issued quarantine orders for two of the 18 passengers from the M/V Hondius cruise ship to remain at the Nebraska Quarantine Facility through May 31, which would mark the end of a 21-day monitoring period. That period is when the risk of becoming symptomatic from the hantavirus is at its highest. CDC officials initially said the passengers were being asked to stay for monitoring but the agency was not going to use its mandatory quarantine authority.
