Quarantine comes to an end for the last of the hantavirus ship passengers in Nebraska

The last eight U.S. passengers completed a 42-day federal quarantine after exposure to Andes hantavirus, and no one developed illness, officials said.

  • On Thursday, six of 18 passengers exposed to hantavirus on a Dutch cruise ship remain quarantined at the National Quarantine Unit in Omaha after two more departed this week.
  • Gradual releases from the University of Nebraska Medical Center have occurred since early June, as two-thirds of the initial group completed isolation at home under government surveillance.
  • Medical staff at the Nebraska Medical Center monitored individuals for hantavirus symptoms, which can take up to 42 days to appear after exposure, according to health protocols.
  • Ten others were allowed to leave earlier under agreements for close monitoring in their home states, while the remaining six chose to complete the full quarantine period.
  • No cases of hantavirus were detected among the evacuated passengers as of Thursday, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed containment success as quarantine protocols conclude.
