Hantavirus cruise passengers freed after 42 days
Six passengers from the MV Hondius cruise ship have been released from quarantine after 42 days in isolation at a facility in Bullsbrook, Western Australia. The group, comprising five Australians and one New Zealander, had their quarantine extended from three to six weeks after other passengers tested positive for hantavirus overseas, though all six repatriated to Australia continued to test negative. They departed Perth airport for their home states of Queensland and New South Wales after being declared free of the virus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
