Surveillance ordered for US hantavirus ship passengers who go home
Eighteen American cruise ship passengers potentially exposed to hantavirus will be allowed to leave a quarantine facility on June 1 after nearly three weeks. However, they will be under surveillance at home for an additional three weeks, which is more stringent than typical health protocols. The CDC has emphasized the health and safety of the passengers and the surrounding communities during this process.
- ▪The passengers were repatriated from a cruise ship linked to a hantavirus outbreak in May.
- ▪They will be monitored at home by law enforcement or public health workers for three weeks after leaving quarantine.
- ▪Some passengers have expressed a desire to remain in the quarantine unit for the full 42-day incubation period.
