"17 Americans aboard MV Hondius will be flown to the U.S. — with a first stop in Nebraska, home of the highly specialized National Quarantine Unit.

The CDC is not considering this a quarantine, but rather a brief visit to monitor their health.

The passengers will be checked for symptoms, but not tested for hantavirus, as testing is not recommended for those without symptoms, according to a CDC official."

Curious to know how other countries are managing their passengers from the cruise ship.
Are they quarantining them?
Are they testing passengers for the hantavirus, even if they exhibit no symptoms?

@AkaSci NL has tested them all (I think they all tested negative), and told them to quarantine at home for 6 wks, with daily check-ins by the GGD (~ Municipal Health Service). They’re allowed out for a walk around the block, but the usual advice re distancing & masking applies.

They need to take their temperature twice daily & report to the GGD, as well as any other symptoms that may arise.

@webhat @AkaSci They do though, what else is the blood for?

Unless there’s a Dracula-tax…
