Quarantine over for Almost All Hantavirus Ship Passengers, Crew
Two more passengers left the National Quarantine Unit this week after possible exposure, leaving six of 18 still isolated, officials said.
- Six of 18 passengers exposed to hantavirus on a Dutch cruise ship remain quarantined Thursday in Omaha at the National Quarantine Unit, after two others departed this week.
- Health officials urged all 18 passengers to remain quarantined at the Nebraska Medical Center because the virus carries a risk of becoming fatal and poses potential for local spread.
- Federal authorities mandated that 2 of the passengers stay until at least May 31, while others chose to return to their home states for monitoring by local health departments.
- Medical staff at the Nebraska Medical Center continue monitoring quarantined individuals for symptoms, which can take time to appear after potential exposure to the virus.
- Officials continue tracking remaining passengers following the exposure on the Dutch ship to ensure safety and prevent transmission, given the virus's potential to become fatal.
